Puisteris Semidano di Mogoro DOC Superiore 2019 - Cantina di Mogoro

Grapes: Semidano 100%. Puistèris is an ancient Neolithic village located on a hill close to the village of Mogoro. Country where the semidano is found, a vine of which news has been reported since 1780. After unsuccessful attempts at production in other areas of the island, the Semidano was recognized as a vine of unique expressiveness in the Mogoro area, obtaining the DOC. It is a low-yielding vine with small, tightly packed bunches of medium resistance to cryptogams. Due to the vegetative aspect it is sometimes confused with the Nuragus, given the similar shape of the shoots and leaves. Maturation takes place from the second ten days of September. In late harvest, from the first ten days of October, the Semidano gives white wines of great structure and complexity or fascinating sweet wines. The Puisteris wine vines are saplings aged between 30 and 40 years, on hilly terrain in the municipality of Mogoro and neighboring towns. The soil is moderately calcareous, deep loose, partly made up of Quaternary sands. The climate is Mediterranean with mild winters and hot summers, mitigated by the salty mistral wind. The average annual rainfall is 500 mm. The harvest takes place in the first ten days of October, with careful selection of the ripest grapes and the mashing takes place within a few hours of harvesting. The harvesting operations are carried out late to allow for a greater accumulation of sugars and terpenes. The yield per hectare is 50/60 q. After a brief maceration of the must on the skins and fermentation at low temperature, it ages for about 3 months in 500-litre French oak tonneaux. Bâtonnage is carried out on the fine lees to allow the wine to best express the qualities of body, structure and aromatic palette. Subsequent refinement of 9 months in steel and 2 months in the bottle.
