It is mainly made from \u003cstrong\u003eNasco and Malvasia\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, indigenous varieties that express a rich and aromatic profile. This passito embodies the Mediterranean style: intense yet balanced, with a refined sweetness and a pleasant freshness that balances every sip. The result is a wine of great elegance, telling the story of the southern Sardinian territory, amidst sun, sea, and wind.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2019 vintage in Sardinia was characterized by regular climatic conditions, with a mild spring and a dry summer, ideal for the concentration of sugars in the grapes intended for drying. Temperature excursions between day and night favored the formation of aromas, giving the wine intense and complex aromas, typical of the best Angialis vintages.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe late harvest of hand-selected grapes precedes the \u003cstrong\u003enatural drying\u003c\/strong\u003e phase, during which the grapes lose part of their water, concentrating sugars and aromas. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve aromatic freshness, followed by an aging period of about twelve months in small French oak barriques. This process gives the wine notes of honey, dried fruit, and sweet spices, without covering the purity of the fruit.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the glass, it presents a warm, \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant golden yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e, with amber reflections that speak of its natural concentration and the work of time.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it opens with broad and complex aromas of dried apricot, dried figs, and Mediterranean maquis honey. Hints of vanilla, saffron, and toasted almond follow, a distinctive sign of wood aging and its island origin.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is soft, enveloping, but not cloying. The sweetness is accompanied by a \u003cstrong\u003esurprising freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a slight mineral vein that supports the drinkability, making it harmonious and persistent. The finish is long, with returns of candied fruit and honey.\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePairings with Isola dei Nuraghi Passito IGT 'Angialis' 2019 - Argiolas (0.5l)\u003c\/h2\u003e\nPerfect with \u003cstrong\u003edesserts based on dried fruit or cream\u003c\/strong\u003e, such as apricot tarts, dry pastries, or strong blue cheeses.
