Noras

The vines grow in lower Sulcis on sandy soils with weathered granite; the sites are trained on trellises and harvested by hand. After gentle pressing, the must ferments under temperature control for around 12–15 days in stainless steel, with frequent pumping over. Malolactic fermentation takes place early and spontaneously. The wine then matures for around six months in used French barriques and a further six months in bottle. In the glass, it shows ripe blueberries and blackberries, Mediterranean spice, tobacco and chocolate; the body is warm and supple, the tannins dense and fine, while the acidity provides sufficient freshness.
