The nose is intense and persistent, offering a graceful mix of fruity and floral notes.\n\nOn the palate, it is soft and full-bodied, with a well-balanced interplay between flavour and aroma. The finish is savoury, lingering, and pleasantly persistent, with enough structure to suggest it will hold its charm well over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from a unique Sardinian setting that gives the wine its regional identity and sense of place. Vinification is carried out without skin contact, with gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then matures in stainless steel or glass-lined concrete tanks on the lees, with periodic batonnage, followed by a short period of bottle ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent partner for Mediterranean seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, and lighter pasta dishes, as well as soft cheeses and vegetable-based antipasti.
