Cantine di Neoneli - Arcivu Rosso 2023

In the remote village of Neoneli, in central Sardinia, Cantina di Neoneli is writing a new chapter in the island’s viticultural story. A true collective project, the winery brings together local growers to preserve native varieties and traditions. Arcìvu Rosso 2023 is a field blend of nine Sardinian grapes—including Cannonau, Monica, Bovale, Muristellu, Carignano, and more—from bush-trained vines, many of them decades old. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak, maintaining freshness while adding subtle texture. Aromatically, it is rich with red fruits, Mediterranean herbs, and a touch of wild spice. The palate is medium-bodied and balanced, with soft tannins and a lively finish. “Arcivu” means “archive” in Sardinian dialect—a fitting name for a wine that captures and preserves the essence of local identity, soil, and community.
