GIACU Mandrolisai DOC comes from the hilly vineyards of Mandrolisai around Sorgono (NU), on granite and sandy soils at about 500 m above sea level. The vines, trained with the spurred cordon method, produce hand-selected native grapes: Bovale Sardo, Cannonau, and Monica, blended in precise proportions to highlight the DOC’s identity.
Harvested traditionally by hand, the wine is vinified in steel with a 3-day pre-fermentation maceration followed by a 15-day fermentation, preserving the fruity notes and freshness of the grapes. The wine is aged in steel before bottling and refined in the bottle for 3–4 months.
