Sileno Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna DOC - Ferruccio Deiana

With the Ferruccio Deiana Sileno Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna, a first-class red wine finds its way into the glass. It displays a wonderfully dense, ruby-red color. When held at a slight angle, the rim of the wine in the glass reveals a charming garnet-red hue. When given some air by swirling in the glass, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which shows in pronounced church windows on the glass. The bouquet of this red wine from Sardinia seduces with hints of mulberry, blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry. Following the aromas further, notes of vanilla, cocoa bean and gingerbread spice appear, enhanced by the influence of oak.

The Ferruccio Deiana Sileno Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna presents itself wonderfully dry to the wine lover. This red wine never appears coarse or austere, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully dense. On the finish, this matured red wine from the Sardinian wine-growing region delights with beautiful length. Again, hints of blueberry and mulberry appear.

Vinification of Ferruccio Deiana Sileno Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Cannonau. Only first-class grape material was used for this exceptionally powerful single-varietal wine from Ferruccio Deiana. Sileno Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian breathes an exceptional European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. A not-to-be-underestimated influence on the development of the grapes is also the fact that the Cannonau vines thrive under the influence of a warm climate. This is expressed, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high alcohol content in the wine. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
