Bessiu Nasco of Cagliari 2022

The name Bessìu comes from Sardinian and means "Going Out". Cantina Audarya chose this name to highlight the fact that despite the long aging in steel, this wine is extremely delicate and elegant, just like the fresh breeze of the early morning, when you "go out" into the vineyard.

Bessiu pairs well with seafood appetizers, mature cheeses and fish-based first courses. We recommend trying it with delicate white meats such as Rabbit cacciatore.
