Cantina Oliena Corrasi Nepente di Oliena Riserva 2015

Cannonau di Sardegna DOC Riserva Nepente di Oliena THE VINEYARDS OF THE CORRASI Located in the town of Oliena, they are cultivated in non- irrigated, granite soils on hilly sites.The typical farming sy- stem is with small Sardinian trees that allow low productions per hectare and high quality grapes. The ca- refully-selected grapes in the vineyard are generally harve- sted from the first 10 days of October. VINIFICATION AND REFINING At transportation, grapes undergo a further check in order to ensure an absolute high level of quality.Vinifi- cation includes a long maceration for 15 days at a con- trolled temperature of 24-26°C. Frequent pumping and délestage allow the extraction of the grape aromatic and polyphenolic component.At first, maturation takes place in refrigerated cement tanks and continues in Sla- vonian and French oak barrels. During the 6 months in- side the barrels, CORRASI undergoes frequent bâtonnages on its fine and noble lees in order to extract the noble components and increase both body and vo- lume. BOTTLING AND STORAGE CORRASI is bottled sterilised and under inert gas. It is possible to store the wine in bottles for a long period of time in order to ensure a correct period of matura- tion and ageing.After a few years of storage in suitable conditions, the sweet and fruity notes with hints of va- nilla are enriched by aromatic and spicy nuances.
