Entemari

The grapes come from the Is Crabilis vineyards near Ussana and Acquasassa near Serdiana, at an altitude of 150–180 metres. The calcareous, clay-rich soils, full of stones, lie on mid-slopes; the vines are trained using the Alberello and low trellis systems. After gentle pressing, there is a short period of skin contact, followed by fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is aged for around twelve months on the fine lees in stainless steel and for several months in bottle. It is dry, full-bodied and soft, with lively acidity, green apple and citrus fruit, herbs and mineral-saline notes. Production is limited to particularly good vintages.
