According to EU body of wine laws, the grape variety cannot be written in the front label and back label can’t display any vintage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHence the owners decided to name the wine CRG after the first three consonants the grape variety involved (Carignano). The vintage camouflage is in the lot number which contains the year (L.2018). This wine comes from a sandy single alberello vineyard (bush) named Calasetta in the Sulcis area (southwest of the island), planted in 1967 and still ungrafted. The Carignano thrives here and unlike what has been the normal French habit to blend it in order to smooth the reds, here in Sardinia this grape variety is often bottled alone accepting the challenge of meaty noses and accentuated garrigue “ingredients” dominating the palate. The CRG is velvety wine from bush-trained vines and low-yield vineyards near the sea which can gracefully age for a decade at least. Fermentation is carried with only indigenous yeast and, as per Piero’s consolidated habit, skin maceration is done with hand \"pigeage\" and limited to a week in order to avoid beefy wine’s extraction. The aging process combines the tank and 4th passage barriques for 6 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"fizz-heading-3 fizz-stack-12\"\u003eAbout the producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fizz-text-large fizz-stack-16\"\u003eQuartomoro di Sardegna was initially used by Piero Cella himself to experiment and test different ideas to learn more about his own wines. This led him naturally to develop it into what it is today, a kind of ‘workshop of ideas’ where new wines are created. Our emotional bond with the wines and the territory and our memories of long walks through vineyards together with great wine-tasting experiences has led us finally to realise our dream: Quartomoro di Sardegna. It was a real challenge for us, but we are really proud to have created this evolving winery. Quartomoro di Sardegna embodies an intertwining of grapes, experiences and cultures exactly like its birthplace: Arborea, a living sinergy between being sardinian and continental influences. Our mission is to produce wines that best represent one of the most interesting territories in terms of biodiversity: Sardinia. We respect what nature has given us and protect it with minimal intervention in the vineyard and in the cellar with the winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quartomoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47381887418625,"sku":"8050539100063","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.stellasjuicebox.com\/products\/quartomoro-sardegna-memorie-di-vite-crg","provider":"Stella's Juice Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
