Lajcheddu

Lajcheddu,Isola dei Nuraghi, Typical Geographical Indication.
From grapes harvested in late autumn, this wine has a straw-yellow colour with golden reflections. The aromas and sweet flavour of the dried grapes are accompanied by intense sensations of overripe yellow fruit and pleasant dried fruit notes. It is an excellent relaxing wine, which goes very well with almond based sweets, and perfectly accompanies spicy cheeses.
