Characteristics of this red wine
The grapes used for the production of the red structured wine Gràssia Riserva of the Giuseppe Sedilesu cellar is composed by a 100% single variety of the Cannonau Mamoiada grapes. The vines are cultivated with the classical tree method which permits to fully benefit the ground characteristics. The soil is full of granite shaped by the several decomposition of the ground. These lands are full of mineral salts which gives a very sapid taste to the grapes. This is the main characteristic of all the wines from Sardinia. The vines used are, at least, 60 years old. The best aspect of this cultivation is the scarcity of production that never outdoes the 30 q. per hectare. The harvest is late and it could achieve the end of October. The fermentation, as for the best wines, comes naturally in a temperature between the 20-34°C. The grapes maturation time lasts between 15 and 20 days. The pressing is soft and the maturation takes place in glass barrels of 40 hectoliters and it lasts 24 months. The red wine Gràssia Riserva DOC doesn’t need any filtering and the refinement is about 6 months directly in the bottles.
