Tasting Notes
94 points - 'Morello cherries, wild berries, hints of dried roses, prune, eucalyptus and Mediterranean scrub aromas introduce a rich, generous, darkly fruited wine with cedar, vanilla and herbal notes. Robust but ripe tannins, a savoury freshness, and a long and persistent finish balance the generously fruity and spicy character. Giuseppe Sedilesu was the first producer to start under his own name in Mamoiada in 2001, and this wine is the symbol of the region's wine renaissance. Matured in large oak barrels for approximately 12 months.' Tasted by Åsa Johansson, Decanter.com, September 2023
