An-da Cannonau di Sardegna 2023, Spakai

Spakai is a Sardinian winery deeply rooted in the traditions of Sorso, in the province of Sassari. For five generations, their one-hectare vineyard overlooking the Gulf of Asinara has been a family treasure. They cultivate bush-trained vines, harvesting by hand the fruits of this heritage: Cannonau Antico, along with small quantities of Cagnulari and Pascale. Practices such as planting legume green manure in the fall naturally enhance soil fertility, and they abstain from using herbicides or pesticides, respecting the natural rhythms of the vine and the ecosystem's balance. 

Grapes are harvested by hand only when they have reached optimal ripeness, ensuring the final wine authentically expresses its terroir. Each decision is guided by careful observation and respect for nature, resulting in a product that faithfully represents its origin. ​An-Da, their Cannonau di Sardegna DOC wine, undergoes spontaneous fermentation and maceration on the skins for 23 days in stainless steel, with daily manual punch-downs. It is then aged in stainless steel for 11 months. The result is a powerful, warm, and structured red, rich in aromas of Mediterranean scrub and ripe red fruit. ​
