2021 I Garagisti di Sorgono Mandrolisai Rosso DOC

Mandrolisai is a small area in the middle of Sardinia. The appellation requires blending Monica, Cannonau and Bovale Sardo. This is a bright and juicy expression: the organically grown, estate-grown grapes are fermented with the native yeasts and aged just for 6 months in stainless steel. An intensely fruity red that can be served slightly chilled.

Located in the geographical center of Sardinia, in the Mandrolisai appellation, three friends have teamed up to keep alive the wine-growing traditions of their ancestors, cultivating 80+ years old alberello vines of Cannonau, Monica and Bovale (aka “Muristeddu”) on poor, white/pink granite soils. Their wines vibrate with the primordial energy of this wild Island, but do so with incredible grace and agility.
