Evaristiano, Monica di Sardegna DOC, red, organic wine, 2020, from € 15.55

Viticulture is not always easy in Sardinia, because water is scarce, summers are very dry and hot and the soil does not give anything by itself. But In principle, these are good prerequisites for producing organic wine, because this forces the vines to drill their roots deep into the soil. But that takes many years and patience is required. But then you will still find moisture and minerals dissolved in it that give the wine its unique character, such as this Evaristiono Moncica di Sardegna

Organic wine - processing, Evarisitiano, Monica di Sardegna DOC, red

This red wine from the Cantina is made from the Monica di Sardegna grapes, which thrive in a 2 hectare vineyard with loamy soil. The proximity to the Mediterranean Sea means that the daytime temperature drops more than is the case in the center of Sardinia. This favors the formation and concentration of the fruity components in the grapes. They are harvested by hand from mid-September to mid-October. The maceration in stainless steel tanks with the grapes' own yeasts takes 10 days, with the mash being pumped around daily so that the skins of the berries floating on the liquid are always moist and the colors and flavors contained therein can be extracted. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and not in wooden barrels, which preserves the pure fruity aromas of the grapes.
