Martinu Mannu: A Legendary Wine from Sardinia

Martinu Mannu is a red wine classified as Isola dei Nuraghi IGT, crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes.

Despite being produced in the heart of Mandrolisai, this wine is made from a typically Piedmontese grape: Dolcetto. This unique choice has proven to be a success over the years, with the Nebbiolo grape thriving in these hills for almost a century, resulting in an exceptional and highly esteemed wine.

The Sassu Agricultural Company took a bold step by investing in this grape variety, fully aware of its immense potential in these lands. The late harvests and meticulous winemaking process give rise to a wine that is remarkably concentrated, rich in aromas, and surprisingly structured.

What better name than Martinu Mannu for this wine? It pays homage to a legendary figure – a feudal lord who lived in Sorgono in the 1700s. Known for his physical prowess, intense red hair, and strong character, he earned a noble title from the House of Savoy.

Indeed, Martinu Mannu captivates the eyes with its deep ruby-red color. It delights the senses with powerful scents of cherry liqueur, plum, and pleasant spicy aromas. The taste experience is majestic and enduring, with flavors of sour cherries and cooked plums. This wine embodies elegance and strength.

With an alcohol content of 14.5% Vol., Martinu Mannu stands as a testament to Sardinia’s winemaking excellence.
