Cantina Madeddu Managu Isola dei Nuraghi IGT
Cantina Madeddu / Bosa, Planargia, Isola dei Nuraghi IGT, Sardinia, Italy
The Saline, Floral River-Valley Island White
Luminous pale straw-yellow with gold highlights. The nose is deeply expressive and aromatic, unfolding notes of ripe apricot, yellow peach, wild honeysuckle, dried Mediterranean maquis, lemon peel, and crushed sea salt. Medium-bodied and silky on the palate, balanced by crisp citrus acidity, a textured herbal core, and a long, dry, marine finish.
⭐ (Sitting around 13% ABV and vinified cold in stainless steel, it is remarkably pure, vibrant, and very gentle on the head).
Bosa-style seafood risotto, grilled sea bass, octopus carpaccio, culurgiones with mint and pecorino, or fresh goat cheese.
Bosa is famous for its fortified Malvasia, but when Cantina Madeddu vinifies Malvasia di Bosa bone-dry as a table wine, it's a total showstopper. Managu combines intense, perfume-like aromatics of apricot and honeysuckle with a bone-dry, salty crispness that comes straight off the Planargia coastline. Rich yet lively, and a fantastic discovery for the Sardinian collection.
