3/4 White Sa Defenza 2022

With its leisurely and drinkable style, Sa Defenza Bianco '3/4' represents a ready-to-drink everyday white wine. Sa Defenza is a Sardinian wine estate led with passion by the Marchi brothers, who in 2015 inaugurated the new winery and marketed the first labels after years of study and experimentation with local varieties such as Semidano and Vermentino among the white grapes. The estate's origins date back to the 1920s, when the great-grandfather of the current owners, a shepherd, moved from Barbagia to Donori for transhumance. Upon arriving in Donori, realising the agricultural potential of the area, he decided to buy 150 hectares of land. In the 1960s, his grandson Salvatore, father of the Marchi brothers, inherited his part of the land and began practising breeding and farming, later passing on his love for viticulture to his children.

Bianco Sa Defenza '3/4' comes from a blend of white grapes grown through sustainable agronomic practices on soils consisting mainly of clay and sand at an altitude of about 150 metres above sea level. The grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and then gently crushed, with the resulting must remain in contact with the skins for a very short time and fermented in stainless steel tanks using only indigenous yeasts. During the entire production process, no clarification or filtration is used.

The '3/4' Bianco di Sa Defenza has a brilliant straw yellow colour. On the nose, there are hints of lemon peel, bergamot and white flowers, alternating with marine hints iodata. The taste is fresh and crisp, lively with good acidity and a delicate saline tone.
