CANNONAU DI SARDEGNA AISITTÀ RISERVA IS WAITING, respect, patience, knowing how to wait for what has a value well beyond time. It is the land that decides. Here, in Jerzu, an area dedicated to CRU and Cannonau, the land says that its marly and sandy nature is perfect for a wine of great consistency, longevity and persistence, without losing its fruit. Cannonau riserva is also silkiness and balance, the result of our total and silent respect for the time of the harvest.
