La vigna/The vineyard
The first piece of the puzzle to obtain excellent wine in the cellar is to follow good vineyard cultivation and care practices, from the initial planting and throughout the years with pruning, training system, and hoeing.
Our vineyards are young, but already endowed with good coloring substance and excellent alcohol content. Our Sa Sedda vineyard constitutes the original nucleus, planted with Cannonau and Carignano.
In the new Su Fruncu 'e su 'Inari vineyard, we have added Pascale di Cagliari to Cannonau to recreate the ancient Siniscolan blend. At the same time, we have planted two other native grape varieties, this time white berried: Vermentino and Vernaccia sarda.
Guyot pruning is specific to Cannonau, while for Carignano, a typical vine of southern Sardinia and Sulcis, bush training is usual, but to maintain a consistent cultivation approach, we have also opted for Guyot here.
Harvesting is done manually around mid-September, although due to climate change, it is sometimes particularly early, even in mid to late August.
The vineyard is east-facing, with an altitude of about 100 meters above sea level, mostly terraced. Plowing always takes place in the row uphill, leaving the row downhill fallow with only grass to mow, to prevent erosion from increasing.
