Monica di Sardegna DOC Superiore "Don Efisio"
Via Oristano, 6/A, 09170 Oristano OR, Italia

GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Monica. One of the first red grape varieties introduced in Sardinia. The variety finds in the valley of Oristano a good distributional area thanks
to the nearness of the sea and the typically Mediterranean climate, where its medium and sparse bunches of grapes achieve perfect ripeness, creating a fresh wine with good structure and high drinkability.
SOIL: Sedimentary soil, structurally loose and well-draining; medium textured.
TRAINING SYSTEM: Guyot.
FERTILIZERS: Natural organic.
FERMENTATION: Fermentation on skins. Maceration lasts 8/10 days and happens at a controlled temperature around 24 °C.
AGEING: Aged for only 4 or 5 months in old durmast barrels; later refined in concrete vats for at least 6-7 months.
DESCRIPTION: Ruby red colour, with red fruit and spicy aromas on the nose. The wine is dry, fresh and pleasantly smooth on the palate. A wine with good structure but also high drinkability.
