Enjoying this a lot. And the price… enjoying it even more. Opened it yesterday and it wasn’t ready so we let it sit for 24 hours. Still don’t think it’s quite there - probably needs another two years minimum. Didnt expect that. Dark purple and light red tones. Pipe tobacco and dark fruit notes on the nose, a bit of dried cherry and rose petals. Lots of depth there, very nice gothic bouquet. :-) There’s beef steak blood and graphite mixed with dark cherry and plum. Going to buy a case! — 5 years ago

Medium to full bodied with smooth and easy tannins, nice developed and jammy fruit. Changes a bit as it decants. Nothing worth paying a lot for, and nothing with an especially unique flavor profile, but solid and clearly well-produced. 90 points. — 8 years ago

Dolia – Vermentino di Sardegna – 2024
Sardegna DOC – Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A very casual and easygoing Vermentino designed for pure drinkability. Light, fresh, and uncomplicated, yet still delivering enough coastal character to keep it interesting.

Aromas & Flavors
Citrus, green apple, and light pear notes lead the profile, with a subtle saline touch that hints at its Mediterranean origin. Clean and straightforward.

Mouthfeel
Light-bodied with refreshing acidity and a smooth, easy finish. A touch of salinity adds dimension, keeping it from feeling too simple.

Food Pairings
Light salads, seafood, simple appetizers, or enjoyed on its own. Perfect for warm weather and casual settings.

Verdict
A classic patio pounder that delivers on freshness and ease. Not complex, but well-made for its purpose, an effortless, reliable sipper.

Did You Know?
Vermentino from Sardegna often shows more pronounced salinity compared to mainland expressions, thanks to constant maritime influence from the surrounding Mediterranean Sea.

🍷 Personal Pick
A go-to casual white for relaxed moments—easy, refreshing, and exactly what you want when you’re not looking to overthink wine. Cheers! — 3 months ago

2020 vintage. 100% Melon de Bourgogne. An old vine selection from 2 different vineyards with soils composed of shale and green rocks. Vinified and aged in "dolia" ( egg-shaped terracotta vats). Intriguing nose with exotic fruits, flowers, and a strong minerality, like a salty Condrieu if that makes any sense. Lots of flavour and intensity for such a low-alcohol wine ( 12,5 abv), with crisp white fruit, mouthwatering acidity, a subtle bitterness, and a long, saline finish. Gorgeous. Biodynamically farmed. — 2 years ago

Cantine di Dolia Nova — Dolia Monica di Sardegna
Monica di Sardegna DOC — Sardinia, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview:
100% Monica, an indigenous Sardinian grape known for its approachable, easy-drinking style. A Mediterranean red that leans on freshness and simplicity rather than power, perfectly aligned with casual, everyday drinking.

Aromas & Flavors:
Bright red cherries, wild strawberries, and a touch of red plum. Subtle herbal notes and a light earthy undertone give it a rustic, regional charm without overwhelming the fruit.

Mouthfeel:
Light to medium-bodied with soft tannins and balanced acidity. Smooth, easy-flowing texture with a clean, uncomplicated finish that invites another sip.

Food Pairings:
Tomato-based pasta, pizza, grilled vegetables, or simple Mediterranean dishes. A natural match for casual meals and relaxed settings.

Verdict:
A charming, no-frills red that delivers exactly what it promises, freshness, drinkability, and regional character. Not built to impress, but to enjoy.
This is the kind of wine that reminds you not everything has to be serious to be good.

🍷 Did You Know?
Monica is one of Sardinia’s oldest native grapes, historically valued more for everyday drinking than prestige, making it one of Italy’s most authentic “local lifestyle” wines.
