Monica di Sardegna Red Wine from Sardinia | 2021 Pala Oltreluna [JS93][V90]

Discover the 2021 Monica di Sardegna Oltreluna—a masterpiece from Pala’s estate in Italy’s sun-kissed Sardinia region. Crafted exclusively from the rare Monica grape varietal, this wine captures the essence of Sardinian terroir with a harmonious blend of tradition and modern craftsmanship.

Awarded 93 points by James Suckling and 90 points by Vinous, this bold yet elegant red wine offers a sensory journey through layers of dried berries, smoky herbs, and zesty acidity. Its medium-bodied palate is framed by velvety tannins and a lingering finish infused with spice and floral notes—a true testament to Sardinia’s viticultural heritage.

Beneath its deep ruby hue lies a story rooted in history: Monica grapes were first cultivated by Camaldolese monks in the 15th century, adapting over centuries to become Sardinia’s signature varietal. The Pala family’s meticulous winemaking工艺 breathes life into this ancient tradition, balancing vibrant fruit purity with refined complexity for a wine that’s equally at home at formal gatherings or casual soirées.

Perfectly balanced with 14.5% alcohol content, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, or cheese platters featuring local pecorino cheese. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, the 2021 Oltreluna delivers a taste of Mediterranean elegance that distinguishes it among Italian reds.

Experience the timeless allure of Sardinian viticulture—where centuries-old techniques meet modern innovation to craft a wine as unique as its terroir.
