Vintage Details

The 2024 vintage in Sardinia was characterized by a balanced climate, with mild winters and a sunny spring that favored gradual and complete grape ripening. The temperature excursions between day and night enriched the aromatic profile of the Carignano, while maintaining excellent natural acidity. The deliberately low yield guaranteed excellent grape quality, with concentrated, fragrant bunches.

Winemaking and Aging

“Tambè” is produced using the saignée method, a technique that involves drawing off a portion of the must during the red wine fermentation, resulting in a rosé with a more intense color and aromatic profile. After a short fermentation in stainless steel, at a controlled temperature, the wine rests for a few weeks on its fine lees – the spent yeasts that enrich its softness and complexity – before being bottled.
