Mas Balente is a still red wine IGT Isola dei Nuraghi, obtained from native grapes typical of Mandrolisai, produced by Cantina Carboni di Ortueri in about 200 bottles, packaged in wooden boxes. The term Balente derives from Balentia, which means value. Balente is therefore someone who is worth, brave, courageous. In Sardinian it often also takes on the negative connotation of bandit.
GRAPE VARIETY Typical Mandrolisai grapes selected
ALCOHOL CONTENT 14.5%
ORIGIN
100-year-old vineyards owned by the winery, trained as saplings in the Ortueri countryside.
PROCESSING
The grapes are harvested by hand after a careful selection of the bunches. Each blend is separately subjected to destemming-crushing with subsequent fermentation of the skins in contact with the must for about 21 days in stainless steel vats, with frequent pumping over and dèlestages. The wine is then aged in oak barriques, where it completes its refinement before being bottled.
Production limited to only 198 bottles.
CHARACTERISTICS
Color: impenetrable ruby red.
Aroma: notes of fruit jam, sweet hints of spices and Mediterranean herbs.
Taste: powerful flavour, whose notable alcohol content is well balanced between the structure and the well-integrated tannins. Persistent finish.
COMBINATIONS
Mas Balente is a structured red wine that goes well with traditional Sardinian aged cheeses as well as grilled red meats.
The ideal serving temperature is between 14 and 16 °C.
