Sparkling Wine Solais Cantina Santadi 75 cl

Description

History

Cantina di Santadi was founded in 1960 by a group of grape producers in Sardinia. Initially they concentrated on the production of bulk wine, but the qualitative turning point came with the advice of the oenologist Giacomo Tachis in the 80s. From that moment on, the winery has seen its reputation and the prestige of its wines grow, such as the Carignano vinified in barrique and the Sardinian Vermentino, which fully express the territory and are highly appreciated all over the world.

Grapes used

Production method

The grapes are vinified with the classic method in white, fermentation at controlled temperature for about a week and aging on the fine lees for 6-7 months. The wine is bottled and refermented in the bottle with selected yeasts at 12°C for 40 days and remains aged with remuage for 18 months. The wine is then disgorged, aged for another 6 months and marketed.
