Cagliari DOC
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
An umbrella DOC that absorbed the old single grape Cagliari appellations in 2011. Its most distinctive wines are the fortified and sweet Malvasia and Moscato in the Cagliari tradition: amber, nutty, with dried apricot, orange peel and a dry or off dry finish that pairs with pecorino and almond sweets. Dry Monica and Malvasia also appear. Production is small and dominated by a few historic houses around Cagliari.
