Bovale Sardo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bovale Sardo is the synonym of the Spanish red wine Graciano , which is cultivated in the Italian region of Sardinia and belongs to the small family of the Bovale vines. It is generally not made into a single variety, but used as a blending partner. For example, the DOC wines Campidano di Terralba and Mandrolisai , which have a tart character, are made from this variety . At the beginning of the 1990s, the area under vines was 922 hectares .

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is hairy white, with a slight crimson tinge at the extreme tip. The young leaves are only hairy cobwebs.
  • The medium-sized leaves are five-lobed and barely curved. The stem bay is lyren-shaped open. The blade is bluntly serrated. The teeth are medium in size compared to other varieties. The leaf surface (also called the leaf blade) is blistered and rough.
  • The cylindrical grape is medium-sized and has dense berries. The oval berries are medium-sized and purple-black in color. The skin of the berry is thick-walled.

The vigorous grape variety ripens around 35–40 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen very late. The robust variety sprouts late.
