Berritta’s “DON BADDORE” is a deep purple, rich red wine made from a blend of 50% Cannonau & 50%Syrah grapes, meticulously selected from 25-years-old vines in the Isola dei Nuraghi appellation. Harvested by hand in early October, after destemming the alcoholic fermentation starts in traditional wooden vats in contact with the skins for about 30 days (with daily manual punch-downs). Ageing continues for 8 months in stainless steel tanks, and then 8 to 12 months in French oak barrels. A few months in bottles before market release. The result is a rich red wine with long cellaring potential, yet ready to be enjoyed already in his early years with a beautiful deep purple appearance, rich and elegant aromatic bouquet of ripe red, jammy-fruits, spices and chocolate notes, with a lush depth in its finish. The taste delivers consistently with the olphactory experience: rich fruit, dry and warm sip, deep and elegant tannins, Mediterranean herbs, and tobacco and cholocate aroma’s enrich the finish. A full-bodied varietal Cannonau, with well-polished yet vibrant tannins. Food match: a wonderful combination with various grilled meats, just perfect for a BBQ with family and friends. Recommended serving-temperature of 14°-16°C.
