Dolce Vita Monica di Sardegna (2006)

Wine tasting 2

This was actually one of my favourite wines for the night, yet many said it was so-so. The Monica grape was totally unheard, and is one of only a handful grapes which are equally good as a table grape. It's relatively new on the market, yet I would recommend it for being a relatively good ecological wine.

Panel's rating: 3,1 out of 5




Price: 67SEK
Country: Italy
Grapes: 100% Monica

Colour: Ruby, Dark scarlett, Thick ruby, Purple

Nose: Cinnamon mixed with leather and raisins, Very earthy, Raisin bagels, Sharp and very rustic, A little resin and ripe fruit, Lots of cellar and barrel

Taste:
A strong beginning of cherries with a very short after taste, Rustic and very strong in the beginning but settles too quickly, Peppery, Sharp with a sort of burning peppery taste mixed with figs, Strong cinnamon flavours with high acidity, Smooth finish.
