Cannonau Basca 2019 Pedra Niedda 75 cl

Description

History

The Sardinian company Pedra Niedda, founded by the Florentine wine-growing agronomist Enrico Menicalli and the tourist manager Susanna Atzori, has recovered the uncultivated vineyards of her family and has planted the native Cannonau and Semidano vines. Tittia, their white wine, is produced with Semidano grapes and has a large and enveloping bouquet, while Basca, their red wine, is produced with Cannonau grapes and has notes of Sardinian Mediterranean scrub such as myrtle, juniper, rosemary and laurel. Both wines are characterized by freshness, taste-olfactory complexity and salinity.

Production method

Alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel for ten days at a temperature of 26° C. Pumping over or punching down are carried out every day to ensure good extraction of the aromatic and coloring components.

The wine is aged for 80% in steel while the remaining 20% in French oak tonneau. After six months we proceed with the blend of the two masses, a short passage in steel for another two months to complete the aging period in the cellar.
