"The vineyards are often surrounded by
eucalyptus trees to act as windbreaks. This is a key tidbit of
information for we believe they influence the wines' characteristics
and bring greater personality." Gambero Rosso,
Italian Wines 2005
Uncertified Organic Wine (Producer states they do not use artificial fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. While we cannot prove the
veracity of this, we also have no reason to believe it is not true.)
Tasting notes: Medium in body, aromatic and
spicy, this is truly a Sardinian
wine. Try it with eggplant parmagana, pork, duck or chicken - and it
is especially good with turkey!
