(11/2025) Italy is home to thousands of tiny, local wine zones where the locally produced juice can be super delicious and wildly interesting. On the island of Sardinia, the unknown DOC of Mandrolisai features a quality producer named Fradiles. Here, winemaker Paolo Savoldo bottles 'Azzàra,' a mountainous red blend featuring Bovale, Monica and Cannonau. The wine is juicy, with peppery, gamey flavors featuring earth, game and black fruits atop a grippy, soulful frame. A truly local wine, capable of transporting the drinker to the rolling, bucolic hills of Italian island life. Drink with sausages and herbs tonight!
