Nabui Nuraghi Island IGT 2022

Nabui is the Sardinian pronunciation of “Neapolis”, a Carthaginian city in the Mogoro area, where some of Monica's vineyards are located.

GRAPE Monica and Bovale

ALCOHOL CONTENT 14.5%

ORIGIN
Vineyards located on the hills around Mogoro, on sandy, Quaternary soils, loose and deep, trained as saplings.

PROCESSING
The harvest, strictly manual, takes place around mid-October, as Monica is a late-ripening cultivar. The grapes are immediately crushed and the marc is left in contact with the must for about fifteen days, during which the fermentation is carried out by selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of about 25°C. Once the alcoholic vinification is complete, Nabui matures partly in steel and partly in 15 and 30 hectolitre barrels for about a year, a size that allows for delicate oxygenation of the wine, before the final refinement in the bottle.

CHARACTERISTICS
Color: intense red, rich in purple hues, which fade into warmer tones as they evolve.
Aroma: notes of small red fruits such as ripe wild blackberries and light balsamic notes.
Taste: at the first sip it reveals the complex structure, thanks also to the contribution of the bovale, and is characterized by the balance between freshness, sweet tannins and good persistence.

COMBINATIONS
Nabui is a red wine that pairs well with structured dishes such as ravioli filled with braised meat or slow-cooked meat; roasts or stews of red meat and game, as well as medium and long-aged cheeses.
