Located in the Grand Cru Mornag A.O.C. area. This region, in which wine production dates back to the splendour of Carthage in the eigth century BC, is known for its sunny hillsides, and its microclimate, which is cold and wet during the winter while being warm and dry in summer.
The amphora-shaped Sidi Sâad bottle brings to mind the glorious history of Carthage and is a feature exclusive to Les Vignerons de Carthage.
