Bovale Marmilla Rosso SU'NICO Su'entu

From pure Bovale grapes comes this red wine from the Sardinian winery Su'entu: the vineyards are exposed to the North-East, at an altitude of 250 m above sea level. The soils are sandy with sandstone. The harvest takes place between the first and second decades of September: the bunches are harvested at night to protect them from the high temperatures of the day, and with a slight overripeness to obtain hints of ripe fruit. The long maceration of 10-12 days during alcoholic fermentation allows for prolonged contact between the pomace and the must, thanks to soft re-trimming. This is followed by alcoholic fermentation and then more malolactic fermentation. The final stage of maturation takes place partly in steel and partly in Slavonian wooden barrels.
