Mora & Memo
The combination of old vineyards and minimal intervention with a delicate touch in the winemaking results in a range of elegant, vibrant and mineral wines that are representative of their island terroir, executed in a modern way. Now run by mother and daughter team Elicia and Leya Telani. Labels are designed by Sardinian artist Katia Marcias with themes that celebrate Sardinia’s strong matriarchal values.
Viticulture
Focused on the indigenous Sardinian varieties of Cannonau and Vermentino the combination of mature vineyards at 200+ meters above sea level, sensitive farming and a delicate touch in the cellar results in elegant, vibrant mineral wines - very different from the rustic Sardinian norm.
Winemaking
The Tino Vermentino undergoes a short period of skin contact before fermenting at cool temperatures in stainless steel, followed by a few months of lees ageing and final refinement in bottle. The Nau Cannonau macerates on the skins for 8–10 days with selected yeasts, then completes fermentation and spends around six months ageing in stainless steel, finishing with three months in bottle before release.
