Winemaker Notes
A wine dedicated to Enrico's father, the 2017 vintage exhibits a bright, intense nose with damsons, blackcurrant, blackberry, and floral notes of crushed rose and violet. The palate is velvety, with ripe tannins and a spicy finish, reflecting the minerality of Carbonia's soils. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
The Story
We are located in Sardinia, in Carbonia, a center created for the workers who worked in the coal mines very widespread in the area.
The father of Enrico Esu, the current owner, was a miner in love with the vineyard. Despite the hard work in the mine, in the little free time he devoted himself to the vineyard and in 1958 he planted the first free-standing vineyard in carignano.
In the past in this area of Sardinia, when you wanted to plant a new vineyard, you asked some friends or relatives for the branches. The "uncle Deidda" vineyard dating back to the early 1900s has generated the estate's current viticultural heritage. The vineyards of that time were not monovarietal, but were made up of a prevalent variety, in this case Carignano and other indigenous varieties such as Monica, Bovale and Carenisca.
The vines are planted with saplings and, thanks to the sandy composition of the soil and the particular breeding techniques, they can easily exceed 50 years of age.
