MONICA DI SARDEGNA D.O.C.
From Monica grapes
Vineyards in the lower Sulcis region cultivated using the low bush (alberello) and counterespalier vine training systems.
Soil generally medium-textured, clayey, sandy and calcareous.
The grapes are harvested during the second half of September.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for a period of around 15 days, during which time the maceration and frequent pumping over facilitates the complete extraction of the phenolic compounds contained in the skins. The wine is aged for several months in concrete tanks before bottling.
An ideal summer red wine, also perfect as an aperitif, served chilled. It pairs well with lean meats, cold cuts, fish soups and ethnic dishes such as falafel.
Colour: ruby with purple reflections.
Aromas: lovely complex fragrance with hints of blackberry and blueberry on the nose.
Flavour: a mellow, structured wine with a pleasant feel on the palate.
12 °C – 14 °C
