Interesting Facts
"Nau" - an elegant, soft, well-structured red wine, made from the traditional Sardinian grape variety Cannonau. The vines are grown on a hill of medium height with clay-calcareous soils and southern / southeast exposure. Age of vines is 30 years. Vinification begins with maceration on the skin for 8-10 days at a controlled temperature. Subsequent fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats. At the end of the fermentation, the wort is moved to oak barrels, where it matures about 3 months later. Then the wine is aged 6 months in stainless steel tanks and, after bottling, 3 months in bottles. It is recommended to uncork a bottle with "Naw" at least 30 minutes before serving.
