The Story
With the super local variety Monica we are in the heart of the tradition of our area as well as Nuragus.
The name Monica comes after the monk cultivation (the monks grapes, uva dei monaci, then uva monaca and then monica). They grew this varietal around their monasteries. Unfortunately there are no studies on the vine as there’s only few producers growing Monica … but we know the monks were from France and so we think of some grape adapted to our area in the past centuries.
