Renarossa Monica di Sardegna DOC 75 cl
Renarossa Monica di Sardegna DOC is a red wine made from Monica, a traditional Sardinian grape variety. The wine comes from the Cagliari area, where Monica finds suitable pedoclimatic conditions and produces wines with red fruit, Mediterranean herbal spice and a rounded structure. Temperature-controlled fermentation and maturation in stainless steel tanks preserve the fruit and the variety’s characteristic aromatic profile. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby-red colour. The nose reveals a pronounced bouquet of red fruit and delicate Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is elegant yet powerful, with notes of damson and plum compote, appealing roundness and subtle toasted nuances on the finish.
Producer: Vigneti Zanatta, Olbia
Gallura lies in the far north-east of Sardinia and is particularly known for the Costa Smeralda, pale sandy beaches and granite rock formations. In this Sardinian wine-growing area, the island’s traditional grape varieties find highly favourable conditions. Alongside Cannonau, Monica and Carignano are among Sardinia’s distinctive specialities. Elena and her father Bruno Zanatta focus on precision, meticulous work and a clearly defined style. The wines of Vigneti Zanatta express fruit, structure and a composed regional identity. Monica reveals a particularly Sardinian facet of the range, combining red fruit, Mediterranean herbs, appealing roundness and an approachable yet characterful red-wine style.
