Bàcco

The vines grow in Sulcis on sandy soils near the sea; the official product page also cites sunshine and sea breezes as defining conditions. The grapes are hand-harvested and, after destemming, macerated on the skins for several days. The wine is matured sur lies; no precise duration is given. In the glass it shows an intense ruby-red colour. Blackcurrant, berries steeped in alcohol, Mediterranean maquis and sweet spices shape the nose. The wine is full-bodied, fruit-driven and persistent, with fresh acidity and fine tannins. Source: Siddùra, product data sheet and official product page.
