Muristellu Grand Cru 2015

"Muristellu" is the local Sardinian word for "Bovale," the ancestral grape of the island. 
It is genetically and directly linked to the wild vine which gives you a snapshot of what an ancient wine could have tasted like before humans domesticated grapes. It's a "blue zone wine." 

The symbol on the bottle is pre-historic. It's the Mother Goddess of the Nuragic Civilization. The Nuragic people lived in Sardinia between 3,000-8,000 years ago. This symbol can still be seen chiseled into old stones all over the island. The Mother Goddess was the god of fertility.

Atha Ruja Muristellu is a Grand Cru, made from extremely low-yielding vines that produce 1 cluster of grapes per vine. After a hand-harvest the wine ages for 4 years in French oak barrels followed by at least 2 years in glass bottle. 

Big, bold, powerful. The passion of the ancient Nuragics vibrates through the energy of this wine. 1,333 bottles handcrafted and each bottle individually numbered.
