WINERY OF THE WEEK - SARDEGNA
This months we received 3 new wines from Sardinia from a small family in north west of the island. Chessa wines are the best expression of the terroir in the corner of Sardinia where the famous and indigenous varieties are planted like their Cagnulari.
All wine are available to buy in our shop.
2021 Chessa, Mattariga, Vermentino di Sardegna DOC $55
Mattariga is a Vermentino di Sardegna DOC obtained from 100% Vermentino grapes cultivated on calcareous soil, on hills at 250 m asl, with good temperature excursion, which helps to preserve aroma. Low yields per hectare and careful winemaking produce good concentration. It has a fine and delicate scent, and a well-balanced and intense taste.
2019 Chessa, Gemmanera, Cannonau di Sardegna DOC $60
Territorial interpretation of the cannonau which finds its origin in clayey limestone soils rich in skeleton. I live the ruby red color, fresh and fruity aromas reminiscent of morello cherry and blackberry enriched with precious notes of Mediterranean scrub. Vibrant entry in the mouth characterized by a fresh acidity and good volume.
2021 Chessa, Cagnulari IGT $60
It is a red wine made from Cagnulari grapes. Intense ruby red with violet shades. Intense aromas of red fruit, to***co and spices. Rich and enveloping to taste, always a spouse of traditional Sardinian cuisine.
