Amur

The vines stand in Gallura on predominantly sandy soils of weathered granite with a thin clay layer and are trained on trellises. The grapes are hand-harvested, gently destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel; frequent délestage shapes the extraction. The wine matures for 14 months in stainless steel with cold settling, explicitly without prior filtration, and then in bottle. In the glass it is a dry, round and rather lean red with dark berries, blackcurrant, myrtle, blackberry, thyme and graphite; the tannins remain gentle and the acidity lively.
