WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva is produced through maceration on the skins for 12-14 days at controlled temperatures of 26-28°C, with regular pumping over. Following this, the wine is aged for two years in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by several months of bottle aging. This process is designed to develop the wine's structure and aromatic profile.
