ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
The Parpinello family has run this 35-hectare estate and winery with dedication and passion for three generations. Giampaolo Parpinello and his son Paolo strive to reflect the Sardinian terroir and reveal the typicity of the wines. The vineyard is situated on a gentle slope between Alghero and Sassari in the northwest of the island. In order to reflect this typicity, modern winemaking technology is successfully combined with traditional farming methods, resulting in high-quality wines with intense aromas and flavours.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
Cannonau is the most important and exclusive red wine grape native to Sardinia. It is thought to be the oldest variety in the Mediterranean and a synonym for Garnacha, which has developed into something very special and unique in Sardinia. The vineyard is located on a gentle slope between Alghero and Sassari. It sits atop a mixture of geological formations such as calcareous marne, conglomerate and sandstone. The vineyard is planted with a high density of vines. The newest innovations are implemented in the cultivation of the vineyard while respecting the traditions and ecosystem of the geographical location. Pruning and harvesting take place manually. The meticulous selection of grape clusters ensures optimum quality.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were hand-harvested from a selection of the best bunches in the vineyard. Vinification took place with selected yeast in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of between 20-22°C. The wine was then subjected to maceration for 10 days to extract the desired level of flavours, colour and aromatics, before being bottle aged.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
A deep, rich red colour, this Cannonau shows lashings of mature red fruits combined with delicate hints of spice on the nose. The dry and pleasantly flavoured palate is elegant, yet full-bodied in style.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Cannonau 100%.
