Kora Kodes is the name of an ancient harbour, which is chronicled in Tolomeus “Geography”, wrote in 170 A.D. Kora Kodes harbour is located south of Cornus and north of Tharros; it can be identified as the harbour of salines, documented in Middle Ages and in Modern Age, in “Su Pallosu” bay. The generous “gregori” soils house the grape varieties “Cabernet Sauvignon” and “Merlot” in “Fratelli Serra” company. The harvested grapes are destemmed and subdued to maceration at monitored temperature during 7 days. After the soft pressing, the must continues its fermentation in oak barrels. Once the fermentation is finished, the must starts its ageing process (that lasts 12 months) in small oak barrels.
