Vike Vike Ghirada Istevene, Barbagia Rosso IGT, 2020
Italy
Producer
Grape Variety
Cannonau
From brought-in fruit, Istevene single vineyard with 105-year-old vines was made only in 2020 and 2021. Again, spontaneous fermentation, 100% whole cluster – suppler fruit but a tad more structure – and 18 months in 500-litre barrels. The wine shows deep ruby appearance and medium intensity of red plum preserve, floral notes, red fruit and honey. A gamey note develops with air. The palate is dry with a medium acidity and structure – extract, tannins and body. A nice length but slightly shy fruit with honey, beeswax, tar and red plum/pit and a medium-plus finish. 2024-2028–IR
