Lajcheddu is an excellent Sardinian Passito. Isola dei Nuraghi IGT, is a golden nectar that comes from the sunny hills of Tenute Tondini. Here the Mediterranean climate, characterised by mild winters and warm summers, combined with sea breezes and limestone-marly soils, create an ideal environment for growing Moscato. The vineyards are located 350 metres above sea level where the grapes are able to reach full ripeness, concentrating aromas and sugar. After natural drying, vinification begins with a pre-fermentative maceration phase. This is followed by soft pressing and alcoholic fermentation, which, in this case, takes place in 550-litre oak barrels. This complex process allows their intense golden colour, complex aromas and natural sweetness to be extracted from the grapes. The result is a wine characterised by a beautiful deep golden colour with amber highlights. The nose reveals an intense and persistent bouquet reminiscent of overripe yellow fruit, such as apricot and peach, with notes of dried fruit, honey and dates. In the mouth, Lajcheddu Passito conquers with its enveloping and persistent sweetness. The acidity is well balanced, giving the wine a pleasant freshness and a lingering, pleasantly sweet finish.
Located in the picturesque Alta Gallura area, Tenute Tondini is a family-run winery that, since its foundation in 2004, has been able to distinguish itself for the quality and originality of its wines. The winery is located in San Leonardo, between the municipalities of Luras and Calangianus, an area known not only for the production of excellent Vermentino, but also for being the main Sardinian cork cultivation area. The Tondini family is passionately dedicated to cultivating the 20 hectares of vineyards. Vermentino occupies most of the vineyard area, reflecting the natural vocation of the land. However, the vineyards also host other native varieties such as Moscato, Cannonau and Caricagiola, as well as international ones such as Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Dolcetto. The rows are located at altitudes between 300 and 400 metres above sea level, benefiting from excellent daily temperature ranges that enhance the aromatic characteristics of the grapes. The family's production philosophy is based on the principle that the quality of wine comes first and foremost from the vineyard. For this reason, yields per hectare are deliberately limited, guaranteeing greater concentration and intensity of flavour. In the cellar, then, the aim is to support and enhance what the land has to offer, using modern technology to preserve the aromatic heritage of the wines during fermentation. For ageing, the whites rest in steel, while the reds mature mainly in oak barrels, adding complexity and structure.
