Ageing is done in non-agressive barrels, two or three years old, for a period of no longer than 12 months. A deep violet color, the wine shows aromas of red fruits and Mediterranean aromatic herbs.

The long finish is silky.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t“Montessu” is produced in the Sulcis Iglesiente region located in southwest Sardinia. This region’s brown earth is composed of sandy soil that is a mixture of clay and limestone. This combined with the local climate are ideal conditions to produce grapes to make great red wines. The Carignano grape variety found throughout the area gives Montessu its soft and elegant tannins and its high PH. The region’s exceptional vine growing conditions are also ideal for the cultivation of International varieties including Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which were planted years ago. The base production per hectare (6,000 liters\/ha) and the climate conditions favor optimal phenolic maturation of the grapes. The final blend for this wine is a mix of these grapes that is balanced for the best results in the specific conditions unique to each harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe harvest occurs over one month, from early September to the first days of October. Grapes are harvested by hand, transfered to cellar and vinified with the skins for maceration of 12-15 days in controlled temperatures of 25-28°C. Fermentation is closely monitored to verify proper parameters and is completed on the lees until malolactic fermentation is finished, and during this period, pumping over is carried out with extreme care. Each grape variety is vinified separately and the wine is transferred to barrique before December 15th.The wine is blended for final ageing in cement tanks for 20-30 days to settle further. Then, the wine is bottled naturally without filtration. After three months ageing in the bottle, Montessu is ready for shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tFood Pairing: Enjoy with roasted lamb \u0026amp; burratta.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Sapori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49488132768061,"sku":null,"price":209.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/14292-1.jpg?v=1729030824"},{"product_id":"santa-maria-la-palma-aragosta-vermentino-di-sardegna-2020-italy","title":"Santa Maria La Palma Aragosta Vermentino di Sardegna 2020 (Italy)","description":"\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cstrong\u003eDry style\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cstrong\u003eRipe apple\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cstrong\u003eAlmonds\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cstrong\u003eCrisp \u0026amp; lively\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tPale straw-yellow with soft hints of green.
