Campidano di Terralba or Terralba
CAMPIDANO DI TERRALBA or TERRALBA (DOC)
Campidano di Terralba wine, known in Sardinia as Rosso di Terralba, consists of 80% from the variety Bovale di Spagna (sometimes called Bovale Grande, Bovale Sardo or Bovale Mannu). The cultivation of this strain in Sardinia began with the advent of Spanish domination on the island..
For many years, Campidano was very willingly used in the north of Italy and in France as a red wine for admixtures.. However, its smell and taste were so attractive, that this wine was also valued as a separate drink, and its attractiveness was in no way diminished by the relatively high alcohol concentration.
Dzięki zastosowaniu nowych i bardziej racjonalnych systemów uprawy oraz prowadzeniu winorośli w sposób bardziej rozpostarty niż ma to miejsce w tradycyjnie stosowanym systemie Sardinian sapling, which consists in planting low and free-growing shrub bushes, Campidano di Terralba wine has evolved - it has become softer and less aggressive, perfectly matching the new style of consumption, which currently dominates world markets.
