Romangia

The Protected Geographical Indication "Romangia" includes white wines (also sparkling, from overripe and raisin grapes), red wines (also sparkling and new) and rosé wines (also sparkling).

Grapes

Romangia PGI wines must be obtained from vines suitable for the Sardegna Region. The specification of the vine (with the exception of the varieties Cannonau, Carignano, Girò, Malvasia, Monica, Moscato, Nasco, Nuragus, Semidano, Vermentino, Vernaccia) can be used only respecting the minimum production quota of 85% of the corresponding blend. Up to a maximum of 15% can also be used coloured berry varieties, suitable for cultivation in Sardegna. If a white grape variety is specified, the wines can also be produced in the Sparkling, Overripe grapes and Passito types. On the other hand, if they are made from red grapes, they can also be produced in the Sparkling and Novello types.

Physicochemical and Organoleptic properties

White wines, even sparkling ones, are characterised by their colour, which ranges from paper white to amber yellow, combined with their characteristic aroma and flavour, which ranges from dry to sweet. The overripe grapes and Passito versions differ in their colour from yellow to amber. The red wines, even sparkling ones, are of a light ruby to garnet colour, with a characteristic aroma and a taste that ranges from dry to sweet. The Novello version has a tonality embellished with purplish reflections and a flavor from dry to sweet. The Rosé, on the other hand, has a pale pink shade, with a characteristic aroma and a dry to sweet flavour. The minimum total alcoholic strength by volume is 10% vol. for White, 10. 50% vol. for all sparkling wines and for simple Rosé, 11% vol. for Red and Novello, 15. 5% vol. for overripe grapes, 16% vol. for Passito.
