Tenuta Masone Mannu: Wine Tasting in Monti

You book tastings and guided cellar visits by reservation. Booking ahead keeps the pace unhurried and lets the team tailor flights to your interests. In quieter months, the experience is especially peaceful, and you still get generous time with the wines.

You can expect Vermentino di Gallura DOCG, estate bottlings such as Funtana Manna IGT, and a selection of reds. Served with a few local bites, the wines show well alongside Sardinian staples; in winter we enjoyed gnocchetti sardi with wild boar ragù as a classic pairing.

You reach the estate by car in roughly 30 minutes from Olbia. If you’re flying in, Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport offers frequent domestic connections and seasonal European routes, making it easy to combine a coastal morning swim with an afternoon tasting or a full inland day.

Late afternoon is especially lovely for vineyard light, and quieter months offer a more peaceful pace. In summer, midday can be hot, so bring water, a hat, and sunscreen if you plan to spend time outdoors, and always organize a designated driver or a transfer.

MaMa Wine&Food is the estate’s relaxed space for unhurried tastings and a simple aperitivo with vineyard views. Playful design touches—painted barrels, colorful stones along the paths, and a tidy, expressive cellar—add character to the visit without getting in the way of the wine.

Yes, it pairs well with a cork-and-granite themed loop through Monti or a short scenic drive—and on cooler days, an easy walk—around the Limbara massif. From the coast, you can also plan a morning swim before heading inland for a relaxed afternoon tasting.
