Description
Still organic red Cannonau di Sardegna DOC, 13.5% ABV, produced by Masone Mannu. 0.75 L bottle, 2022 vintage. A wine made in the Monti area, a few kilometers from Olbia, amidst a landscape of cork oak forests and Mediterranean scrub. The vineyards are cultivated with passion and respect for the environment, without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Zojosu expresses aromas of cloves and red fruits such as morello cherry and plum, with balsamic hints of Mediterranean scrub. Ruby red in color with garnet highlights. On the palate, it is dry and structured, full-bodied and smooth, animated by freshness and a decisive savory character, along with fine, vibrant tannins. The flavor is refined and persistent.

The ancient name "Masone Mannu" means "great property", which extends for almost 100 hectares, of which about 40 are planted with specialized vineyard.
Since 2018 the Estate is the subject of a big development project led by Giordano Emendatori, owner of the Tenuta Mara Biodynamic Estate in Romagna. In our vineyards we mainly grow the most important grape in Gallura: Vermentino. Cannonau, Carignano vines, together with Bovale Sardo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon enrich the cultivated varieties.
The sea wind, the exposure of the vineyards and the rich nature surrounding the estate help us to grow healthy grapes without the use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. Read more
