Nasco
(Nascu)
Nasco is one of the ancient Sardinian grapes believed to be native to the region. It is primarily grown in the south, around Cagliari. Varietal wines are mainly a part of Nasco di Cagliari DOC, which includes dry and fortified wines. Nasco is a very aromatic grape that gives some of its best results in dessert wines that usually have honey, apricot, and dry fruit aroma, often with a hint of spice, mineral character, and a good balance of acidity and sweetness.
Dry wines are balanced, elegant, and mineral, combining floral, fruity, and herbaceous notes. Sweet styles are best served with pastries and cheese, and dry Nasco wines pair well with seafood, appetizers, and light main courses.
