Clear and brilliant, with an intense amber color.
The taste is decisive and mature, deep and warm.
It reminds the Vernaccia of the past, the original taste from the Oristano tradition.
It tastes of almond and dried fruit.
The salinity, imparted by potassium-rich soils and other minerals, gives it structure.
Aged in small barrels of chestnut and oak.
It’s a D.O.C. wine (the first sardinian wine to obtain it in 1971) with very distinctive characteristics: dry, ethereal, fragrant.
It’s a wine for contemplation, excellent for chatting with friends and at the end of the meal, paired with almond desserts.
