Mendula is the dry malvasia of Cantina Lilliu. Intense and fragrant, the Mendula is characterized by a golden yellow color and a persistent aftertaste of roasted almonds. Hence the name Mendula, which in Sardinian means almond. It is a long-lived wine, made to last in time as the traditions to which it is linked. The vine of Malvasia is cultivated from time immemorial in Marmilla where, thanks to the clayey and calcareous soils, it is able to express its characteristics in the best possible way. Ancient history links Malvasia to Marmilla.

THE PROCESSING

When the clusters, cultivated thanks to the techniques of synergistic agriculture in aridoculture, reach the ideal maturity they are harvested by hand and processed immediately. After a soft slurry, the grapes remain for forty days in film maceration to obtain the aromas, perfumes and texture that make Mendula unique. After the fermentation of the must and the steel stabilization, it passes to the refining phase in the bottle, which will give the Mendula a different emotion for each year of aging. Mendula, like all the wines of the Lilliu Cellar, is completely devoid of chemical residues,  as certified byquality analyzes.

  • 10 walnuts, in small pieces
  • 6 or 7 bay leaves

    HOW TO COOK

    Clean and wash the dogfish, making sure to take out the livers and keep them aside. Cut the dogfish in small pieces. Fill a pot with water and add the white wine vinegar, the stems of parsley and half of the bay leaves and bring it to the boil. Once boiling, throw in the chunks of dogfish and place a lid, then turn the fire off and leave it to cook for 10 minutes. Fry the garlic and parsley in extra virgin olive oil, then add the livers and squash them with a wooden spoon. Add the walnuts and the remaining bay leaves. Blend with the apple vinegar and white wine and cook for about 15 minutes. In a bowl, place the dogfish and cover it with the hot sauce.
