Amentos di Carignano: Experience the essence of Carignano – a red passito wine from Carignano del Sulcis DOC, crafted solely from Carignano grapes. These grapes are sourced from eighty-year-old vineyards, cultivated using the traditional bush-trained system on sandy soil at sea level on the Island of Sant’Antioco.

The grapes are harvested in the second decade of October and then brought to the cellar for cold maceration of the skins for 48 hours at a temperature of 12°C. Subsequently, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The malolactic fermentation occurs entirely in barriques.

This wine matures in barriques for 12 months, further refining its character with an additional 3 months aging in the bottle before being released to market.
