The appellation of this bottle means 'foreigner' in the Sardinian language, meant in an obsequious form as a guest of honour, to emphasise the allochthonous origin of Syrah with respect to Sardinia. It was Maurizio Saettini, a Tuscan agronomist and friend of Berritta's oenologist Roberto Gariup, who suggested the planting of this wine after seeing the territory of Dorgali. As with other labels from the winery, the illustration of the 'Istranzu' Syrah was entrusted to the artistic talent of Dorgali illustrator Maurizio Brocca.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e'Istranzu' Berritta Dorgali Syrah is produced from only grapes of the international variety of the same name grown under certified organic conditions. The vines, around 20 years old, are situated at an altitude of 180 metres above sea level and rest on draining soils originating from granite disintegration. The grapes are harvested by hand between the end of August and the beginning of September. They are then destemmed and placed in French oak truncated cone vats for spontaneous alcoholic fermentation associated with 20-30 days of maceration on the skins, with repeated manual punching-down. After this period, the mass is gently pressed by hand, and the liquid is then aged for 12 to 24 months in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e before bottling, which takes place without prior filtration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eBerritta Dorgali Syrah 'Istranzu' has a dark purple-red colour with violet hues.
