Bentu Luna MARI' Mandrolisai Rosso DOC (2020) – Sardegna

THE GRAPES
Cannonau, Bovale Sardo (Muristellu), and Monica from ancient, high-elevation vineyards in Sardinia’s rugged Mandrolisai DOC, where these native varieties must be co-fermented by regulation.

THE WINE
A wild, structured Sardinian red that channels the island’s volcanic soul with graceful balance. Mari’ bursts with dark plum, wild berries, Mediterranean maquis herbs, and smoky mineral notes. Full-bodied yet vibrant, offering firm tannins, bright acidity, subtle spice, and earthy depth from extended aging. Powerful yet elegant, with a long, sapid finish—true mountain terroir in every sip.

FOOD PAIRING
Matches roasted game, suckling pig (porceddu), aged sheep cheeses, or hearty mushroom ragù—perfect for authentic Sardinian feasts.

THE WINEMAKER
From Bentu Luna in Mandrolisai, where brothers Giuseppe, Gavino, and Battista Sedilesu revive ancient Sardinian vines with biodynamic respect and minimal intervention. Their “Mari’” honors the sea’s influence on these inland hills, crafting authentic field blends that speak of granite soils, altitude, and family heritage
