Dolianova "Perlas" Nuragus di Cagliari DOC 2023 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

With its pot-bellied bottle and coloured capsule, this Perlas, Nuragus di Cagliari DOC proposed by Cantina sociale di Dolianova, certainly does not go unnoticed on the table. But in this case, outward appearance is not the most important part. We are, in fact, in the presence of a great wine from the territory, the result of a pure processing of Nuragus grapes, indigenous to Sardinia. Cultivated by the cooperative's members in the area surrounding the winery, this ancient local grape is not afraid of the area's sub-arid climate. Once in the cellar, the grapes are soon sent for processing, starting with a gentle pressing to obtain the must. Then, after static decantation, the clean part of the must flower is sent to fermentation at a controlled temperature for about 15 days. This is followed by a slow ageing phase on the noble lees and bottling in the spring following the harvest. Light straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections, the nose is fresh and delicately fruity. In the mouth it is delicate, with a pleasant acidulous expression.
