Sardegna | Wine region



Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and Italy. Due to its geographical position and cultural background, it is very different from the Italian mainland. From the Sardinian culture of the Bronze Age, for example, have been preserved until today the 'nuraghi', whose meaning is still not deciphered. Like Corsica, the island existed in the Mediterranean before the formation of the Apennine Alps. The valleys of the rivers Tirso, Flumendos and Oliena border the massif of Gennargentu in the center of the island, which is the highest, wildest and most impressive of Sardinia. The present economy of the island is based on tourism and agriculture. Important crops are olives, vegetables and wine, although the area under cultivation has greatly decreased due to deforestation. Other important crops are artichokes, almonds, tropical fruits, tobacco. Cork is produced in large quantities by the cork oaks of Gallura. Also from Gallura comes the only DOCG wine of the island, Vermentino di Gallura. The trend in recent years towards light, fresh and delicate white wines has given a new boost to the island's Vermentino wines, which are considered ideal summer wines. Sardinia's most famous red grape is undoubtedly Cannonau, just as Moncia and Girò are actually of Spanish origin and were brought to Sardinia sometime between the 15th and 18th centuries. - Gerardo [TS01/23]

"Scenically, Sardinia is certainly the most diverse and biodiverse region of Italy. Our cellar visits often turn out to be like a tour through an adventure park, at times also like an adventure trip due to the road conditions. Not infrequently, the estates are located in places of wild beauty, but sometimes not easy to track down." - Slow Wine

´I Giganti´ · Isola dei Nuraghi Rosso IGT 2016, Attilio Contini, Sardinien
I Giganti · Isola dei Nuraghi Rosso IGT 2016

Attilio Contini, Sardegna

The color in the glass is a dark ruby red with garnet highlights. The nose is intense, with hints of red fruits and spices, underpinned by balsamic notes. The palate is soft and warm, balanced by finely honed tannins and freshness. - Gerardo [TS12/17]

The namesake giants are a reference to the giants of Mont'e Prama, formerly freestanding sandstone cult statues of the Sardinian nuragic culture. In 1974, the farmer Sisinnio Poddi plowed out the head of one of these statues on the Sinis Peninsula. The forty years of excavation campaigns brought to light other statues, nuraghe models and wall remains. The age of the giants of Mont'e Prama indicates that the oldest free-standing large sculpture in Europe was created in Sardinia, even before a similar development began in Greece.

Viticulture in Sardinia has a long history and is closely linked to the culture and tradition of the island. The wine growing areas in Sardinia are mainly found in the south of the island, especially in the regions of Campidano di Cagliari, Ogliastra and Sarcidano.

The main grape varieties grown in Sardinia are Cannonau, Monica, Carignano and Bovale. Cannonau is the most widespread grape variety in Sardinia and is mainly grown in the Ogliastra region. It is mainly used for the production of red wine and has a deep red color and a strong, spicy flavor. Monica is another important grape variety grown mainly in the Sarcidano region and is used mainly for the production of red wine. Carignano is mainly grown in the Campidano di Cagliari region and is mainly used for the production of red wine.

In recent years, viticulture in Sardinia has undergone significant changes. Wine growers have invested in modern technologies and cultivation methods to improve the quality of their wines. There are also a growing number of wineries that have converted to organic farming and rely on natural methods to care for their vines. Sardinian viticulture has also won many awards and prizes, proving that the wines from Sardinia can compete with the best wines from Europe and the world. Sardinia is also known for its annual wine festivals, where tourists have the opportunity to taste the different types of wine and learn more about viticulture on the island. There are also many wineries that welcome visitors and offer guided tours of the growing areas.

Overall, viticulture in Sardinia is an important part of the island's culture and economy and offers tourists the opportunity to discover and enjoy unique and high quality wines. - Gerardo [TS01/23]
