Description
What kind of wine it is
Monica di Sardegna Perdera by Argiolas is a still red wine with an authentic character. This blend of Monica, Bovale and Carignano grapes stands out for its deep ruby red colour. On the nose, the bouquet is vinous and clean, while the palate is pleasantly rounded, finishing with soft nuances typical of bush-trained vines. It pairs beautifully with pasta dishes with sauce, flavourful fish soups, grilled tuna, lamb and semi-mature pecorino cheese.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from Serdiana, from the Tenuta Sisini estate, where the vines grow on gentle hills with a calcareous-clay structure. The excellent sun exposure and good ventilation, combined with a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and little rainfall, ensure the perfect ripening of the grapes. This natural habitat gives the wine an intense aromatic profile, faithfully reflecting the unique characteristics of the area.
How it is produced
The production process involves temperature-controlled fermentation to achieve a balanced phenolic extraction and preserve the structure. The wine is initially matured in cement vats and then refined in small French oak barrels, finishing its evolution with a short rest in the bottle. This meticulous process enhances the intense vinous character and gives a full-bodied and harmonious structure.
History and Curiosities

Perdera comes to life in the Sisini Estate, in Serdiana, where the calcareous-clay soils nurture a blend dominated by Monica and completed by Bovale and Carignano. Under the expert guidance of Mariano Murru, the careful cultivation of bush-trained vines is complemented by targeted maturation in French oak and cement. The result is a red wine of authentic charm, capable of fully expressing Sardinian identity.

From their grand old man, a monument to an extraordinary entrepreneurial history, they have picked up the stubbornness and sense of challenge to the world, the simple and authentic joy of harvesting and crushing, the passion that springs from the bubbling musts and the effervescent young wines, the personality that defines the tenacious and mature wines, as soft as the limestone in which their roots are sunk, perfumed and savoury like the sea, long-lived like Sardinians.
In 1979 Antonio Argiolas, an established local entrepreneur, went to Argentina and California. These travels were a source of inspiration for him, and represented the beginning of a revolution; in fact these showed him the needs to overcome the parcelling out the countryside, which was widespread on the island, and to employ technologically advanced machines to work larger expanses of land under single ownership.
So, he acquired the lands of Selegas-Sa Tanca and Susini, the Winery’s largest estates. These are the places that Argiolas wine speak of, emblems of the strength, courage and farsightedness of the idea. Read more
