Sardegna | Red Wine
.Sardinia is one of the oldest wine-growing areas in Western Europe. The first seeds are believed to date back to 1300 BC and not imported by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians around 900 BC as previously believed. In the late Middle Ages, the Spanish dominated the big island and brought their red wine varieties. Then, from 1720 until the unification of Italy, the Piedmontese House of Savoy held sway and influenced wine culture. Through many changes of ownership, new grape varieties eventually came to Sardinia. Today, the Mediterranean island is an exclusive tourist destination and has made an impressive turnaround from mass producer to one of the top wine regions. Whether the white Vermentino or the red Cannonau and Carignano - Sardinia has very special grape varieties. Unconventional, angular landscapes and the azure sea with extensive vineyards and very different temperatures in the various sub-regions define the wine-growing region of Sardinia.
The most cultivated red grape varieties in Sardinia are Cannonau di Sardegna, Carignano, Cagnulari and Cabernet-Sauvignon. - Gerardo [TS07/22]
"Gone, apparently, are the days when the same names always appeared, mostly with IGT wines that do not really do justice to Sardinia's great treasure of autochthonous grapes. On the contrary. Only now the pride of the island and its winemakers - the vines, the terroirs and the denominations - is making itself felt in a positive and constructive way." - Gambero Rosso
