The Irilai, a wine from Cantina di Oliena, originates from the new designation of origin Cannonau di Sardegna DOC Classico. This wine is exclusively produced in the provinces of Ogliastra and Nuoro. It undergoes a two-year maturation process, with a minimum of 12 months spent in oak barrels.
In the glass, the Irilai presents itself with a vibrant ruby red color and orange edges. The bouquet is characterized by typical fruity notes and aromatic herbal hints. On the palate, both bitterness and tannins are present but mild and well-rounded. This gives the wine a pleasant fullness and a long finish. It is an ideal accompaniment to game and meat dishes, but also an excellent choice for casual enjoyment.
*In case this vintage is out of stock, we will ship the wine from the following year.
