Rocc'Azura Red 2022 - Domaine Mondange 75cl

This wine takes its name from a rare stone, azurite, which is deposited in a plot on the banks of the Fiumorbu River in Ghisoni. Rocc'Azura Red is described as a seductive, balanced, and pleasant wine, without being over-the-top. Its personality pairs perfectly with bistro cuisine.

The grape varieties used are Sciaccarellu, Grenache, and Minustellu. The average age of the vines is 20 years. The vines are pruned using the Royat cordon system, with a density of 4,000 vines per hectare and a yield of 40 hL/ha, accompanied by practices such as thinning and leaf removal.

Harvesting is done manually, exclusively in the morning, to preserve the freshness of the grapes. After destemming, the grapes are placed in tulip-shaped concrete vats for vatting with daily pumping over. Fermentation takes place at a temperature between 26 and 28°C.

The wine is then aged in tulip-shaped concrete vats for 12 months, allowing its aromas to develop while maintaining its freshness. This wine is recommended to be served between 16 and 18°C. Rocc'Azura Rouge pairs perfectly with roasted, grilled, or candied dishes, highlighting its richness and complexity.
