Dolianova "Montesicci" Nasco di Cagliari DOC 2023 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

Montesicci is a Nasco di Cagliari DOC. It is offered here by the Cantina sociale di Dolianova, one of the island's most vital and interesting realities. 100% Nasco grapes, an ancient Sardinian white grape variety. An indigenous grape variety unknown to most, it produces distinctive and unique wines. The members of Dolianova have always cultivated it in the area surrounding the winery, where the soils are of medium texture, ideal for the proper ripening of these grapes, also thanks to a climate that can be defined as 'sub-arid' here. After cold maceration on the skins overnight, the must is left to rest for 12 hours at a low temperature in order to gently clarify it. This is followed by the inoculation of selected yeasts and the fermentation phase, which lasts for about 14 days. After fermentation, a period of refinement in contact with the noble lees begins and, after a few months, simply bottling follows. Already good today, this white wine, thanks to its considerable structure, can easily mature for a long time in the cellar. When we uncork it, we will discover a wine characterised by a beautiful straw yellow colour, with elegant and complex aromas. Notes of sweet spices, dried flowers and pleasant hints of toasted fruit. In the mouth it is full and persistent, with a pleasant savouriness and a delicately almondy finish. Ideal as an accompaniment to important seafood dishes, or with medium-aged cheeses. A few years after the harvest, it becomes an ideal meditation companion. ...
