It is not fit for ageing. <\/p>\n<p>Food match<br \/>White wine, ideal&nbsp;with sea-courses: shell-fish, raw and cooked molluscs, boiled, fried and roast fish, but also with land and sea starters, with first courses- especially those with no tasty sauces. <br \/>It can also be served very cold, as an&nbsp;aperitif. <\/p>\n<p>Its origin and name<br \/>Its name derives from nuraghic megalithic buildings, because of the truncated cone-shaped bunch, but also because there are many vinestocks near nuraghi. <\/p>\n<p>Others believe&nbsp;that this species of vine is of&nbsp;Phoenician-Punic origin, due to the fact that the name can be related to the appearance of ripe grapes exposed to the sun (NUR= fire in Semitic language). <\/p>\n<p>Another&nbsp;hypothesis seems more probable:&nbsp;this species of vine may&nbsp;have a wild origin, and it probably derives from &#8220;Trebbiano&#8221; grapevines, introduced in the area of Valentia by the Romans (near the village of Nuragus, from which the species probably derives its name).<br \/>The name &#8220;burdu&#8221; (hybrid, wild) gives value to this hypothesis: this species of vine is often identified with this name, which is one of its synonyms. <\/p>\n<p>Its diffusion<br \/>This species of vine spread&nbsp;during the wine-revival&nbsp;age after the phylloxera outbreak: it started in the Campidano area (Cagliari) during the first decade of the&nbsp;XXth century and increased&nbsp;between the 50s and 80s. In that period, this&nbsp;species&nbsp;reached the record of about 13,000 hectares of extension and about one million hectolitres of wine. <\/p>\n<p>This fact is due to the characteristics of this species of vine, to its adaptability and its resistance to&nbsp;grapevine parasites (provoked by insects and mushrooms). <br \/>The Nuragus vineyard has been reduced to 4000\/5000 hectares: that reduction has nevertheless brought some positive changes in&nbsp;the vine growing and wine producing system: there has been a&nbsp;selection of the entrepreneurial basis and of the vineyards with the most suitable credentials. <br \/>The best Nuragus Wines are generally those obtained from grapes produced in calcareous and marly soils. <br \/>It is produced in the provinces of Cagliari and Oristano, and in some communes&nbsp;in&nbsp;the province of Nuoro. Nuragus is at the present time&nbsp;the second white wine as&nbsp;to produce&nbsp;and sales,&nbsp;after the Vermentini (Sardinia and Gallura). <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Other types: Sparkling; Sweet (also Sparkling).<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- SOURCE 6836.html --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>wine in Sardinia&nbsp; | traditional wines&nbsp;&nbsp; NURAGUSsynonyms: Burdu, Scacciadebiti, Pagadepidu&#8230; Alcoholic content: 10,0\/11,00% Vol. Serving temperature: 6-8 &#176;C Organoleptic characteristicsStraw-coloured, with greenish reflections; elegant and soft fragrance, tending to a ripe-fruit fragrance (it enhances the green apple fragrance).
