Monica di Sardegna D.O.C.
The vineyards are located in the most suitable hills of Medio Campidano, not far from the city of Cagliari, in southern Sardinia.
The average age of the vines is 30 years, with a planting density of around 6,000 vines per hectare.
To maintain good quality grapes, the bunches are selected before veraison and the harvest takes place in the second half of September, once perfect ripeness has been reached.
This is followed by fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature for 10 days and a minimum refinement of 8 months in cement before bottling.
