Vernaccia di Oristano DOC Ris. 1968
Vernaccia di Oristano DOC Riserva
Absolute, unique and unrepeatable Vernaccia. It is the year that marked the last vinification of Silvio Carta, in the historic headquarters in via Dante in Baratili San Pietro. But also the year of the last harvest carried out in three moments. The first harvest, dedicated to the ripest and healthiest grapes. The second, 10\15 days after the first, reserved for the sweetest bunches, reinvigorated by a lightened vine, therefore naturally more prodigal. Finally, the third and final harvest of grapes destined for the production of San Martino wine, the lightest and most ready to drink. This was the custom for the harvest of Vernaccia grapes, until then. It was 1968.
