SUSTAINABLY FARMED / ORGANIC PRACTICES
100% Carignano
This is a fantastic example of a Mediterranean red: ripely toned but savory, with aromas and flavors of ripe-but-tangy dark-red fruits, anise, macchia notes (myrtle, juniper, herbs), and cured meat hints. It's a great wine for a wide range of roasted or grilled meats (red or white) and vegetable dishes.
"Rivano is located in the village of Calasetta, on the island of Sant' Antioco, just off the coast of the extreme southwest corner of Sardegna. Angelo's family has been making wine for three generations for personal consumption and for barter and sale in their town. The first bottling of Intrigu produced for export beyond their immediate area was the 2015 vintage.
"The 1-hectare vineyard of Carignano was planted in 1982, and has a southeast exposure with a high content of sand. Since phylloxera is unable to take root here, the bush vines are planted piede franco (ungrafted) at 6000 plants per hectare. Bush training helps protect the vines from the intense winds in the area. No herbicides are used, only manual weeding. Copper and sulfur are used for disease control; one light seasonal application of a [biological] pesticide may be used against the European grapevine moth. Only manure produced on the farm is used for fertilization." - DAVID BOWLER IMPORTS
