The Gabbas - Lillové 2021 comes from Barbagia in the heart of Sardinia, a sun-drenched region that ensures optimal grape ripening. The vineyards sit on medium-deep, granitic soils that remain pleasantly fresh even in hot, dry summers. The dry, well-ventilated climate keeps the vines healthy and minimizes the need for plant protection. Lillové is primarily made from Cannonau, with small portions of other indigenous red varieties, and is named after the vineyard from which its grapes are sourced.


In the glass, the Lillové 2021 shows a deep ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is intense and layered, revealing ripe red berries, cherries, and plums, accented by Mediterranean herbs, a hint of leather, and subtle spicy undertones. On the palate, it is warm, full-bodied, and balanced, with soft tannins and well-integrated acidity. Flavors of dark fruit, licorice, and a fine mineral note vividly reflect its origin. The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering spicy and slightly balsamic nuances.
