Raighinas Cannonau di Sardegna DOC 2023

A young and fresh Cannonau from Mount Limbara, 24 months in steel for elegance

Produced by Tenute Gregu from the youngest Cannonau vineyards at 500 meters on Mount Limbara overlooking Tavolara, Raighinas originates from a privileged position that bestows freshness and intense, deeply Gallurese aromatics. Macerated for 12 days at a natural temperature of 24-26°C with complete fermentation and malolactic fermentation in steel, it ages for 24 months in steel, allowing the wine to evolve naturally, maintaining the purity of the fruit and developing softness and balance.

It offers a brilliant ruby color with intense aromas of red fruit and ripe berries with hints of Mediterranean scrub. The palate is soft, balanced, and fresh with surprisingly fine and elegant tannins.
