Vermut Rosso

ABOUT MEIGAMMA

Barbara and Giuseppe Pusceddu founded their winery in 2006 in Villasimius, in the province of Cagliari (Sardinia). In the Sardinian dialect, meigamma means "nap after lunch," a phrase to embody their "slow" life philosophy. The couple approaches the production of wine, honey, and olive oil as naturally as possible, without the use of pesticides or herbicides in the fields or chemical treatments in the cellar.

Grapes are hand harvested, fermentations are done without the aid of selected yeasts, and the wines are bottled without fining or filtration. Their methods aim to respect the grapes and territory, resulting in a deep connection between their wine and land. Currently, their vineyard extends 1.1 hectares, just 600 meters from the sea, cultivated with Cannonau, Cabernet, Carignano and Muristellu.

VERMUT ROSSO

This is true country vermouth, made with wild botanical ingredients sourced from the family's biodynamic vineyard, brandy distilled from wine made on site, zero added sugar, and no filtration. It is herbaceous and wild, incorporating an ever-evolving list of roots, wildflowers, berries, and aromatic herbs, with a strong bitter backbone and bracing profile. Pour over ice, add a twist of orange and a sprig of rosemary or thyme, and be transported to seaside Sardinian gardens. 

Ingredients: artemisia, gentian, dandelion, chicory, myrtle leaves, chamomile, helichrysum, wild thyme, wild rocket, wild mint, wild fennel.
