Urulu Cannonau di Sardegna Doc
Description
Urulu matures in oak barrels for 9 months, then in bottles for 3 months.
The time of harvest varies slightly depending on the season and still is between the 3rd
week of September and the 1st of October. The grapes are harvested by hand and worked in the
winery within few hours. They are processed with a gentle treatment, aimed at obtaining
high quality wines. Urùlu is a prehistoric settlement where a Nuragic shrine was found.
Located 4 km far from Orgosolo, at 800 meters above the sea level, it overlooks the Locoe
Valley where vineyards were traditionally cultivated. In Urulu were found interesting and
original nuragic artifacts (1900 years BC), including some ladles made in bronze, whose
function, according to expert archaeologists, could be the same as the modern tastevin.
Urùlu blend is 95% Cannonau and 5% a mix of Carignan, Monica di Sardegna, Pascale di
Cagliari and Muristellu.
