To the eye, it presents a clear ruby colour with violet highlights. The aromatic bouquet reveals notes of ripe fruit, jam and blackberry, enriched by delicate hints of quince and plum. On the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003edry and savoury\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering a \u003cstrong\u003egreat structure\u003c\/strong\u003e and a full sip.

The vineyards stretch across \u003cstrong\u003ehilly terrain\u003c\/strong\u003e at around two hundred metres above sea level, characterised by a calcareous matrix with clay fractions. These particular soil and climate conditions give the wine its distinctive character. The vines are trained on a vertical trellis with Guyot pruning to ensure balanced yields.

The wine then undergoes an ageing process of about six months, divided between steel tanks and \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This period of rest imparts complexity to the structure before a \u003cstrong\u003every light filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e, which ensures an expressive and clear sensory profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eCannonau di Sardegna DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e originates in Usini from the deep passion of Giovanni Cherchi, who has been producing local excellence since 1970.
