Sardinian Wines
Sardinia, renowned for Cannonau (the local name for Grenache), lies 150 miles west of Italy in the Mediterranean, blanketed in exquisite vineyards. This island, recently acknowledged as a Blue Zone, is where centenarians attribute part of their longevity to enjoying a daily glass of Sardinian wine. Beyond Cannonau, Sardinia takes pride in producing Vermentino, Carignan, and other indigenous grape varieties. The island’s warm, sunny climate ensures wines are ripe and fruity, while the coastal influence adds an elegant, uplifting acidity. Sardinian wine, deeply embedded in the island’s culture, offers a unique testament to its rich viticultural heritage, making it a beacon for wine lovers seeking authenticity and tradition.
