Sardinia, a picturesque island in the Mediterranean, is an Italian wine region that is increasingly recognised for its distinctive wines produced under the DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) appellation. With its Mediterranean climate characterised by hot, dry summers and mild winters, Sardinia offers an ideal terroir for the cultivation of various grape varieties. Among the island’s emblematic grapes is Cannonau, a robust and spicy red, which is an indigenous version of Grenache. Vermentino, on the other hand, is a fresh and floral white that enjoys growing popularity in international markets.
The varied soils of Sardinia, ranging from granitic to clay-limestone, add depth of character and complexity to its wines. Sardinian vineyards, often small in size, are tended by winemakers who favour traditional techniques combined with modern methods, thus ensuring exceptional quality. Whether you are a novice enthusiast or an experienced oenologist, exploring Sardinian wines promises a delightful and enriching experience for any wine cellar collection.
