Description
The 'Brullieri' three-bottle case from the Osvaldo Soddu winery encapsulates the authentic soul of Mamoiada, a small village in the inland areas of Sardinia, where old vines, high altitudes and sensitive viticulture give life to a Cannonau with an unmistakable spirit. Produced exclusively from Cannonau grapes grown on granite decomposition soils, Brullieri comes from vineyards trained as alberello in the sunny Ghirada Bruncu Boeli plot, at an altitude of 630 metres. Here, the significant temperature variations between day and night give the wine its extraordinary complexity. The vinification respects tradition: soft pressing, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and 14 days' maceration on the skins. This is followed by at least 13 months' ageing in medium-toasted French oak tonneaux and a further 6 months' refinement in the bottle. The wine is unfiltered, preserving all its authenticity and the natural richness of the fruit. In the glass, Brullieri Riserva expresses an intense bouquet of plums, sour cherries, myrtle and carob, with notes of tomato, mint and pepper. On the palate it is full-bodied, mineral and velvety, with a long and persistent finish that offers hints of iodine, citrus and almonds. A Cannonau of great elegance, perfect with roast meats, game and mature cheeses.

Osvaldo Soddu’s Brullieri fully captures the spirit of its territory, Mamoiada, a small village in the interior of Sardinia, with old vines to be preserved, considerable altitudes and a sensitivity in viticulture that has few equals. This red is extremely engaging, with refined tannins, robust structure and perfect balance.
It is made exclusively from Cannonau grapes grown on decomposed granite soils and bush-trained (alberello), which ensures low yields of around 65 quintals of grapes per hectare. The vineyards, located in the sunny plot called Ghirada Bruncu Boeli at around 630 m above sea level, enjoy wide day-night temperature swings, factors that help give the wines of this area their distinctive character. Production of the Brullieri Riserva begins with a gentle pressing, followed by 14 days of skin maceration, during which spontaneous fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts. The wine then matures for at least 13 months in 500-litre medium-toast French oak tonneaux and is further aged in bottle for 6 months before release. In keeping with ancient artisanal winemaking traditions, this wine is unfiltered and may therefore show natural sediment. On the palate it reveals a surprising progression, with very fresh mineral and fruity notes, leading to a long finish marked by a complex mix of iodine, citrus, saline and almond notes. On the nose, the wine opens with a rich, intense bouquet dominated by aromas of red and dark fruit preserves, such as plums and sour cherries, enriched by hints of undergrowth, myrtle, mint, carob, vegetal notes of tomato and peppery accents. It pairs perfectly with cheese platters, roast meats and game, enhancing their flavours and offering an unforgettable sensory experience.
