Cannonau di Sardegna DOC

Terroir and wine making

Cannonau di Sardegna Audarya is a DOC wine made with only Cannonau grapes grown in the "Is Crabilis" vineyard of Ussana, in the territory of Cagliari. The soil on which the famous Sardinian vine grows is calcareous-clay and is located 160 meters above sea level. The vineyards are only reared with a low sapling system and the grapes are strictly harvested and selected by hand. The grapes are macerated at a controlled temperature. Vinification involves malolactic fermentation and subsequent aging on the lees, in thermo-conditioned steel vats. This process aesalta the aromatic notes typical of Cannonau.
