Giogu is a still red wine, Cannonau di Sardegna DOC, produced by the Demelas family of Atzara, made exclusively from Cannonau grapes.

The Cannonau grapes of Giogu are grown in the vineyard at Nabalai in the Atzara area in the historical Mandrolisai region. The 60-plus-year-old vineyard was planted in 1960 on granite crushed soil, bush-trained with a very low yield of 35 quintals per hectare.

The grapes are harvested in the traditional way by hand in boxes. In the cellar, fermentation starts at a controlled temperature, with periodic pumping over.

The wine matures nine months in steel tanks and 20 per cent in second-passage American oak barrels before further ageing for six months in the bottle.

It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 16-18 °C.

The name: Giogu, means play; it is the activity by which children build themselves and discover the world.
