MONTE TUNDU

Sticky rice, ripened cheese, Xinjiang food

Cellar temperature (18-ish degrees), because, you know, we all have one of those. If you’re feeling fancy, get out the decanter (or just open it an hour or 2 before drinking)

This tiny operation, started in 2007 by the spirited Sardinian Antonio Berritta, operates out of the basement of a grocery store. Antonio, his wife Maria Paola and their kids, Serena and Francesco are all involved in the operations of the winery – under the meticulous direction of the grandkids. Antonio’s family has been cultivating olives and vines using traditional methods for generations. This stuff really is in their blood!

It may be Grenache (technically) – but it’s Grenache like you’ve never had it before! Some say Grenache may actually have originated in Sardinia. If it’s making wines this delicious, who are we to argue?
