Sergio Loi is a 4th generation traditional Sardinian producer, whose family winery from the early 900s has always practiced chemical free farming and minimum intervention in the cellar. The Cardedu vineyards are located on the island’s sparsely populated Southeast, on crumbling granite soils near the coast, and schist in the ragged-dry hills and cliffs around Jerzu. The local Monica grape is fermented with native yeasts in cavernous cement tanks under the house. A zingy light bodied red wine. Think spicy-underbrush, herbal notes, and just a touch of fruit. Pair with toasted fregola pasta with small clams, canned sardines, meaty olives and serve with a slight chill.
