Description
What kind of wine it is
Is Aquas is a red wine that expresses the authentic character of the Cannonau grape variety. As an expression of the Cannonau di Sardegna denomination, it stands out for its intense and pleasantly spicy aromatic profile. Visually, it presents a deep red colour enriched with garnet reflections, which anticipates a warm, rounded sip with a solid structure, defined by impeccable taste balance.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the evocative region of Sardinia, where the vines sink their roots into calcareous-clay soils rich in pebbles of various sizes. This particular geological composition offers ideal conditions for the development of excellent grape clusters. The interaction between the environment and the plant imparts a clear territorial identity to the wine, ensuring a marked roundness on the palate, in perfect harmony with the island's style.
How it is produced
The winemaking process begins with a temperature-controlled maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation in vitrified cement tanks. Subsequently, the wine matures through careful ageing in small oak barrels for several months, completing its evolution with a final resting period. This rigorous technical process consolidates its perfect taste balance, preserving the deep colours and characteristic spicy texture.
