Wine: Rosè Cannonau | Cannonau di Sardegna DOC
Cellar: Surrau Società Agricola
Rosè Wine from Cannonau di Sardegna DOC is a delightful pink wine made exclusively from Cannonau grapes grown in the vineyards owned by Cantina Surrau.
The vineyards are situated on granite soil, sandy in texture, and trained using Guyot trellising system, yielding about 80 quintals per hectare.
- The grapes are handpicked at optimal ripeness, usually during the first ten days of September.
- The gentle pressing of whole unstemmed grapes is followed by cold static clarification. A short cold maceration process ensues. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 14-16°C.
Rosè Cannonau di Sardegna DOC displays a beautiful pale pink color with coral hues. It offers a broad and enveloping fruity aroma of currants and strawberries on the nose.
On the palate, it is dry and full-bodied, fruity with good structure, fresh, savory, with softness for balance and roundness.
This wine pairs well with lean appetizers, white meats, shellfish, and mollusks. It also makes an excellent aperitif.
Serve at a temperature of 8°C for optimal enjoyment.
