¿MAORO is a Sardinian IGT (Typical Geographical Indication) called Isola dei Nuraghi. Planted 200 metres above sea level, Cannonao comes from Francis Zicca's vineyards in the countryside of Villagrande Strisaili. The vineyards were planted in 1979 on a granite bedrock. In addition to Cannonau there is also some Monica, Pascale and Alicante trained to Guyot. In these Mediterranean conditions, winters are mild and summers are hot and windy with little rainfall. Consequently a manual harvest is done in September before a natural fermentation and 10-12 day maceration takes place. The wine ages of 6 to 12 months in bottle. This wine pairs well with 'full bodied' dishes based on mushrooms, meats, cheeses and game. The wine is an intense ruby red with reflections tending towards orange with age. On the nose it is reminiscent of citrus, myrtle and arbutus while the body is full, structured, delicate and persistent. It has a unique personality.
