The Wines of North-West Sardinia

The mild climate, rolling hills and sea breezes create the ideal conditions for high-quality wines. Vermentino, the symbol of Sardinia, expresses freshness and minerality, perfect for lovers of elegant and aromatic whites.

Among the red wines, Cannonau stands out for its body and intensity, while Cagnulari, a rediscovered native grape, is a true gem of North-West Sardinia.

Equally fascinating is Monica, a smooth and fruity red wine, ideal to drink young or paired with traditional Sardinian dishes. Widely cultivated in this area, Monica offers aromas of cherry and wild berries, with soft tannins and a pleasantly persistent finish.

These wines are the voice of their territory, reflecting the clay and limestone soils, the Mediterranean climate and the dedication of local winemakers.
