About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow on calcareous soils formed from marly limestone sediments.

Vinification

The wine undergoes maceration for approximately 10–12 days at a controlled temperature of 28–30°C. Malolactic fermentation takes place in concrete tanks over 10–15 days.

Ageing

Development continues in bottle for six months.

Technical data

Monica di Sardegna DOC Superiore. Available in 750 ml, 1.5 L, 3 L and 5 L formats.

Tasting profile

Ruby red. The intense, developing nose centres on marasca cherry and plum, with accompanying vanilla and cinnamon. The palate is harmonious and velvety, combining notably sweet tannins with balanced red-fruit and spice flavours. The finish is very long and satisfying.

Serving and pairing

Pair with traditional pasta served with sauce, richly flavoured fish soups, grilled tuna steaks, stewed lamb, medium-aged pecorino or grilled red meat.
