Mantènghja
Produced in a few precious bottles, this wine is the realisation of an ambitious project. The choice of a single autochthonous grape variety and the selection of the best bunches are accompanied by a 24-month refinement period before bottling. Mantènghja is a thoroughbred wine, intense and smooth, which evolves over the years. Marketed after 4 years from the harvest to express itself at its best, Mantènghja in the Gallurese dialect is a blessing.
