Barbagia Rosso “Ghirada Istevene”
Describing Istevene is quite a challenging task. This UFO (Unidentified Fermented Object) comes from 105-year-old Cannonau vines. The result is a wine of complex simplicity. It stands out with extraordinary depth and length on the palate while maintaining incredible finesse and freshness. A blend of delicacy and power that is rarely found. Unfortunately, Istevene will be produced only in 2020 and 2021, at approximately 1900 bottles per year.

In the heart of Sardinia, more precisely in Mamoiada, an emblematic village of the Sardinian hinterland, I had the pleasure of meeting Simone, a corpulent man with a kind face. This young winemaker takes over the family estate after obtaining his oenology degree and after traveling to refine his viticulture techniques. Simone inherits lands and vineyards that have never seen any chemical products and continues his work in line with the family philosophy. On his 2.5 hectares of vineyards, he cultivates indigenous grape varieties from the “Barbagia” such as “Cannonau” and “Granatza” with the utmost respect for the terroir and traditions. His motto is simple: “good grapes and nothing else.”
