The (0.500) Festa NORIA Etui from SANTADI is a sweet white wine from Sardinia, a region known for its loose, sandy soils and for vineyards cultivated with head-trained vines still on their own roots. The grapes, hand-picked between late September and the first decade of October, undergo a long sun-drying process and a controlled-temperature red vinification, which enhances their aromatic richness and structure. The result is a liqueur wine with an intense amber colour and garnet red reflections, characterised by a balsamic nose with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and Mediterranean scrub, an authentic expression of the lower Sulcis territory. Alcohol content: 17. Winery: Vineyards cultivated with head-trained vines still on their own roots. Harvest/Vintage: Hand-picked harvest starting in late September and ending in the first to second decade of October. Organoleptic notes: Amber colour with garnet red reflections, intense balsamic nose with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and essences of Mediterranean scrub (myrtle, juniper). On the palate, it is enveloping, warm, full, and persistent, the utmost expression of a territory. A wine for meditation. Soil: Predominantly loose and sandy. Vineyard: Vineyards cultivated with head-trained vines still on their own roots (Vigna Latina), on the coast in lower Sulcis. Vinification/Aging: The selected and hand-picked grapes, after a long sun-drying period, are vinified using classic red vinification, starting at a temperature of about 20°C, reaching a maximum of 28°C. Once about two-thirds of the residual sugars are consumed, the wine is cooled to stop fermentation and fortified with grape alcohol, resulting in a liqueur wine with a final alcohol content of about 16% Vol. A wine for meditation that invites slow tasting to fully appreciate its complexity and balance. Ideal for those seeking a sweet expression of Sardinia, the (0.500) Festa NORIA Etui is a refined choice to enrich one's cellar with an authentic and characteristic product.
