Sileno Cannonau di Sardegna DOC - Ferruccio Deiana

The powerful Sileno Cannonau di Sardegna from the house of Ferruccio Deiana shimmers into the glass with a dense ruby red. In the glass, this red wine from Ferruccio Deiana displays aromas of mulberries, blackberries, blueberries, and blackcurrants, complemented by juniper, Mediterranean herbs, and lovage. This Italian wine impresses with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with only 2.1 grams of residual sugar. As one would naturally expect from a wine in the high-quality range, this Italian charmer, despite its dryness, delights with the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. Thanks to its moderate acidity, the Sileno Cannonau di Sardegna caresses the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel, without sacrificing juicy liveliness. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Sardinian wine-growing region finally captivates with exceptional length. Once again, hints of mulberry and blueberry appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils also join in.

Vinification of the Sileno Cannonau di Sardegna by Ferruccio Deiana

The basis for the powerful Sileno Cannonau di Sardegna from Sardinia is grapes of the Cannonau variety. In Sardinia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are taken immediately to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Sileno Cannonau di Sardegna can continue to harmonize for several months on the fine lees.
