Chea - Monica di Sardegna DOC

Italian Red Wine from Sardinia

Sardinia is one of the wine growing regions on the rise and has been producing wines with a lot of personality and robustness.

As the second largest island in the Mediterranean, just behind Sicily, has already been invaded and commanded by various kingdoms and empires to the very beginning of history, and therefore has great culinary diversity, linguistic, architectural and, of course, wine.

The winegrowers in the region are very committed to creating wines of exceptional quality that are gaining international recognition day after day. Sardinia is today one of the great promises of the wine world.

The grapes Monica

Monica is a grape variety found exclusively on the island of Sardinia, off the west coast of Italy.

Despite its relatively unknown status, it is one of the island's most common varieties, and makes simple wines designed for everyday drinking.

Monica wines tend to be medium-bodied with gentle tannins and flavors of red berries and herbs, often with an earthy overtone.

Monica's main showcase is in the Monica di Sardegna DOC, where wines can be still or semi-sparkling (or frizzante).

Here, they may be accompanied by other red varieties, although Monica must compose at least 85 percent of the blend.

The variety is also used in the more location-specific Monica di Cagliari wines, which are produced in dry and sweet fortified styles.
