Description

Grape variety: 100% Bovale. An important indigenous Sardinian red grape variety, historically often used in blends with other grapes but recently rediscovered and showcased as a single-varietal wine. Its cultivation is concentrated primarily in the central-southern part of the island.

Soil: Predominantly sandy.

Vineyard size: 1 hectare.

Training system: Guyot.

Vinification: Hand-harvested grapes are gently crushed; following a cold pre-fermentation maceration, fermentation takes place in steel tanks for approximately 10 days at 25°C, with continuous pump-overs to facilitate the extraction of desirable compounds from the skins.

Aging: Aged in stainless steel tanks for about 7 months; bottling it young highlights the aromas and structure typical of the variety.

Description: Intense ruby ​​red color with slight violet hues. The nose is intense and complex, offering notes of red fruit and Mediterranean scrub. The wine is dry and possesses great structure; it is full-bodied, intense, and warm, with good persistence on the palate.

Food pairings: Meat-based appetizers, platters of cured meats and aged cheeses, red meats, and game.

Serving temperature: 16–18°C.

The Voices of Sardinia: Launeddas and Accordion

Sardinia is not merely a land to be savored, but an island to be listened to. Its soundscape preserves millennia-old traditions that speak of the wind, festivities, farm labor, and ancient communal rituals. Among the instruments that best embody this profound soul, the *launeddas* and the Sardinian accordion stand out.

Tenute Faragò

Tenute Faragò was born from a deep friendship between Paolo, Alessandro, and Nicola, and a profound love for Sardinia. Across fourteen hectares in the Serdiana and Soleminis areas six of which are planted with vines the estate cultivates exclusively native grape varieties as single varietal wines, eschewing blends to ensure the purest expression of the terroir. The harvest is carried out strictly by hand using crates, while in the cellar, tradition meets modern technology through the use of steel, wood, and ceramic vessels for aging. Each bottle captures the sun, the wind, and the passion of a shared journey, offering an authentic taste of the Sardinian land.

Myrtle: the wild scent of Sardinia

Myrtle is much more than just a plant: it is the true scent of Sardinia. With its evergreen leaves and dark, glossy berries, it embodies the most authentic and wild spirit of the Mediterranean scrub.

For centuries, island tradition has known how to make the most of this gift of nature. The berries—harvested by hand at the peak of their aromatic potency—are primarily used to create the famous liqueur, produced through a slow infusion process that preserves its intense, unmistakable aroma. Yet myrtle also plays a role in traditional cuisine, used to flavor fine cuts of meat as well as signature dishes featuring the best of the land and sea.

The magic of Sardinian honey

Bees are not merely the silent guardians of biodiversity and nature’s balance, but the extraordinary artisans of one of the earth’s most ancient and precious products: honey.

In Sardinia, thanks to pristine flora rich in unique essences such as strawberry tree, myrtle, and wild lavender, the work of bees is transformed into an exceptional nectar. Every drop captures the intense, wild aromas of the Mediterranean scrub.

Sardinia's Red Gold

Our saffron comes from the sun-drenched fields of Sardinia, where cultivation follows traditional rhythms. The flowers are harvested strictly by hand at dawn, between October and November, to preserve their aroma and properties intact.

To obtain just one gram of this precious spice, approximately 150 to 200 flowers are required, cleaned with artisanal care.

In the kitchen, it is the ideal ingredient for enhancing first courses such as risottos and fresh pasta, as well as soups, meats, and traditional desserts.
