Ledà d'Ittiri Cigala Alghero Cagnulari DOC
Azienda Vitivinicola Ledà d'Ittiri / Alghero, Alghero Cagnulari DOC, Sardinia, Italy
The Sun-Drenched, Wild-Berry Algherese Cagnulari
Vibrant ruby-red with rich violet hues. The nose is aromatic, punchy, and distinctly Mediterranean, bursting with notes of fresh blackberries, ripe wild plums, crushed dark cherries, cracked pepper, and a distinctive streak of wild maquis scrub herbs. Medium-bodied on the palate with energetic fruit acidity, smooth, fine-grained tannins, and a savory, clean, mouth-watering finish.
⭐ (Cleanly fermented in stainless steel/neutral vessel with vibrant natural acidity, ensuring it drinks light on its feet and entirely gentle on the head).
Roasted meats, artisanal sausages, traditional Sardinian malloreddus, or semi-aged sheep's milk cheese.
If you want to understand why Alghero producers are so passionate about saving and championing Cagnulari, Cigala is a brilliant expression of it. It avoids getting bogged down by heavy oak, letting that native dark berry fruit, wild herbal spice, and refreshing coastal acidity completely shine. It’s lively, structured, and an absolute joy to drink.
