Cellar: Pusole

Pusole is located in Baunei, in Ogliastra, one of the areas of Sardinia suitable for the cultivation of Cannonau. The two brothers, Roberto and Lorenzo, manage the company and inherited their passion for agriculture and viticulture from their parents. Roberto Pusole at eighteen decided to leave the island to go to study enology in Turin. After graduating, she began to gain experience in several wineries in the Alba area, including the collaboration with Conterno Fantino. Return to Sardinia with a precise idea: to make wine according to local traditions. The first vintage is 2012, and his cannonau is able to get out of the track of concentration in favor of a taste of great momentum and grace. In addition to the Cannonau also grows the Vermentino, and the rare white Cannonau, a vine born from the union of the Cannonau with a grape called Galoppo, which produces the Kamare. The management of the vineyard is absolutely natural, without weeding, without irrigation, without chemicals or hormones that interfere with the life cycle of the plant. In the cellar we try to intervene as little as possible, with spontaneous vinification with only indigenous yeasts, no temperature control, maceration for all the wines on the skins, and no filtration before bottling. Surely Pusole has become in recent years a reference winery in the emerging wine landscape of Sardinia.
