It is the yoke that binds us to the land.
It is the new great wine from Cantine di Dolianova.
Jù. From the yoke's Sardinian name comes the wine that presents a challenge to the great wines.
Jù was the name of the oxen yoke that crossed our vineyards to open up the ground and make it fertile, ready to welcome the vines.
Today, the name of the oxen yoke becomes the name of a wine that conveys the spirit of our history.
Jù will not be just a new wine. It will be the most important of our labels poised to challenge the great wines.
Jù, two letters, a short and strong sound, to describe with a single syllable the soul of a winery that never stops, ready to face the future with wisdom and courage.

The grapes are pressed and then macerated for approximately 12–14 days at a temperature of 26–28°C. After racking, the wine is decanted into vitrified cement tanks for malolactic fermentation to occur, and then the wine is transferred to new casks where it ages for 24 months. Following this period, the wine is bottled and left to rest in a horizontal position for a further 6 months before it is available for sale.
