RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Total production: 266 hectares

This ancient species finds its chosen environment in a small zone of north-west Sassari. It has a preference for chalky, fine clay soil, and sunshine, where it is cultivated today, as ever, using the alberello sardo system or a low vertical shoot positioning. It becomes rich in sugars and polyphenolic compounds, which give structure and complexity to the wine. Many experts feel that it has some similarity to Bovale Sardo wine. The wine itself is known as DOC Alghero Cagnulari, brilliant ruby-red, with intense and elegant wild red fruits and jam flavours, full of balsamic notes. It is smooth and delicate on the palate.

It is a grape variety with a strong personality, typical and linked to the small production area. The best expressions reveal a still unexpressed potential, especially with long aging, which gives Cagnulari great complexity.
