CANNONAU DI SARDEGNA DOC “INKIBI” IT IS THERE, this unique place, its sincere character, this very strong feeling of being one with the earth. It belongs to the land called Romangia, where a sandy, clayey soil lives. Impressive as a nuraghe, it tells the scent of the almond tree in bloom.
THE WINE:
As the sun beats down on the earth, this wine tells of an ancient light and infinite space.
Ruby, with violet reflections. The nose is dominated by hints of blackcurrant, blackberry, ripe cherry and plum, notes of Mediterranean scrub and hints of spices. The palate is rich and broad; the tannins are velvety and the persistence is very pleasant.
