The 2015 Sustantzia is made with 100% Monica di Sardegna grapes. The wine has an intense ruby red color and aromas of dark red and juicy, ripened fruits. The palate has a luscious medium body, but a soft and smooth mouthfeel. The characteristics of Monica di Sardegna vary, but all wine types have a ruby red color, intense and very dark. If drunk young, a clear wine-iness could emerge on the nose, making it a little edgy. The aromas can vary from one area of the island to another, depending on the microclimate and the soil. The taste is not overly alcoholic, it is not very tannic, it is sapid and has a slightly bitter aftertaste. Depending on the residual sugar, it can also be dry or amabile (little sweet). This wine can be paired with roasted meats, and strong and mature cheeses. Open up and allow it to breathe for one hour prior to drinking.
