The wine region of Mornag
Tunisian AOC in the coastal plain ~40 km south of Tunis, dry climate tempered by the sea, Roman tradition inherited from Carthage. Signature Carignan as red king: warm and velvety with blackberry, black cherry, candied plum, garrigue, sweet spices and cocoa touch, round tannins and solar fruit. Peppery Syrah and firm Cabernet as complements, Cinsault and Grenache in reputed fruity Mediterranean roses. Ugni Blanc and Rezzegui in fresh whites.
The word of the wine: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
