Elat Carignano Bianco IGT 2025

A revolutionary Carignano vinified as a white, 6 months on fine lees with daily bâtonnage

Produced by Cantina Sardus Pater, Elat Isola dei Nuraghi IGT represents a bold experiment in the Basso Sulcis region: Carignano vinified as a white wine to reveal the grape's hidden character. Fermented in stainless steel at low temperatures and aged for 6 months on fine lees with almost daily bâtonnage, protected from oxygen, it preserves the intact purity of its floral and balsamic aromas. Awarded a Silver Medal 90/100 at the Decanter World Wine Awards, it offers a yellow color with coppery reflections, intense aromas of white flowers and balsamic notes, and a lively, savory, and fresh palate with characteristics of eucalyptus and medicinal herbs, leading to a persistent and harmonious finish.
