$27.95 Sale • Save


Cardedu ‘Bucce’ Bianco is a vibrant and drinkable orange wine crafted by 4th generation Sardinian producer Sergio Loi. The wine is made from Vermentino, Cannonau, and Nasco grapes grown on crumbling granite soils with high levels of quartz, giving the soil a distinctive reddish tint. The Vermentino and Nasco are fermented on the skins for 2 nights, while the Cannonau is quickly pressed after a few hours on the skins. The wine is then aged in cavernous cement tanks for a minimum of 6 months, resulting in a wine with bright acidity, layers of coastal herbs, and a savory finish. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it’s a true expression of Sardinian terroir.
Fun Fact: The name "Bucce" means "skins" in Italian, reflecting the wine's skin-contact method of production. This technique, combined with the unique terroir of Sardegna, imparts the wine with its distinct flavors and deep connection to the Mediterranean landscape.

The Cardedu [car-DAY-do] vineyards are located on the island’s sparsely populated Southeast, where soils are crumbling granite near the coast, and schist in ragged-dry cliffs around Jerzu. - Portovino"
