IL BOVALE

The Bovale is one of the oldest vines grown in Sardinia. Its presence is found everywhere on the island, being grown alone or together with other types of grapes. Recent studies have shown that the Bovale derives directly from the wild vines, still found in some woody areas, but not much cultivated today. This discovery makes experts believe that Sardinia could have be selecting vine biodiversity. The Bovale is a vine of average vigour with a thick grape of medium size. The grape has a rather thick and blue and black skin. The vine shows resistance to the main phytopathies. Fruit maturation takes place between the third decade of September and the first decade of October.

CAVALIERE SARDO VINEYARDS

Vineyards are found in the plain of Terralba area. Soils are sandy and clayey, of good structure and depth. The climate is sub-arid with mild winters and very hot summers, cooled by the salty winds of mistral. Average annual rainfall is 400mm. The harvest takes place in the last decade of September and the first decade of October. The yield per hectare is 60/70q.
VINIFICATION AND REFINING
Vinification takes place with fermentative mac eration of roughly 15 days at a temperature of 26-20° C. Repeated pump-over into the lap and delestage ensure a good extraction of aromatic and colour compounds. After fermentation and a short stay in steel containers, The Cavaliere Sardo, stays for about 12 months in French oak barrels, under controlled temperature, never above 28°C. After this stage, the wine refines for about 8 months in steel vats and then 40 days in bottles.
