Indigenous grapes & distinctive styles

Sardinia’s winemaking identity is shaped by its remarkable native varieties. Cannonau, the island’s signature red, is celebrated for its robust, spicy character, while Vermentino, the leading white, charms with its citrus-driven freshness and mineral edge. Grapes such as Carignano, Bovale Sardo, and Monica produce reds with power and elegance, while Nuragus and Malvasia di Sardegna offer vibrant, expressive whites. These varieties form a diverse portfolio that balances tradition with contemporary taste.

Tradition, sustainability & pairings

Sardinian winemakers blend centuries-old techniques—like extended maceration and oak ageing for reds—with modern stainless-steel vinification that preserves the brightness of whites. Many embrace organic and biodynamic farming, ensuring authentic and environmentally respectful wines. This commitment translates beautifully at the table: Cannonau pairs naturally with roasted meats and game, while Vermentino complements seafood, shellfish, and fresh cheeses. The harmony between Sardinian food and wine speaks to the island’s deep-rooted culture of flavour and conviviality.
