CLASSIFICATION

PLACE OF ORIGIN

Nasco grapes from bush-grown vineyards (ancient Latin vineyard) in the lower Sulcis area.

SOIL COMPOSITION

Loose, mainly sandy.

GRAPE VARIETIES

Nasco 100%.

CLIMATE

Hot and dry summers, mild winters.

HARVESTING

Late harvest wine. The harvesting period of nasco grapes is mainly dependent on the biotic and a-biotic factors influencing its degree of ripening. From late September to late October.

VINIFICATION TECHNIQUE

Late harvesting, also performed by going back repeatedly to the same vineyard, picking the grapes as they reach the desired degree of over-maturation. After removing the skins, the sugary must is fermented in stainless steel tanks.

Alcoholic fermentation proceeds very slowly due to the high density of the must, until it comes to a halt naturally. The wine then develops for several months in third-passage French oak barriques.
