New awards for Cantina di Santadi: Kerin O’Keefe rated the Terre Brune, Noras and Antigua with respectively 93, 92 and 91 Points.

Since 1960, vini fatti con arte.

The Cantina di Santadi Winery is located in the Sulcis area, in South-western Sardinia, just a few miles as the crow flies from the dazzling beaches and white sand dunes of Porto Pino. It was established in 1960, and after some start-up difficulties, a new management gave it a decisive boost, driven by strong determination which fanned enthusiasm and passion.

Thus the Winery embarked on an ambitious programme, adopting new strategies and clear targets, streamlining its operations and issuing coherent guidelines to its member grape growers.

Carignano Vine: Prince of the territory of Sulcis

Wise use of French barriques gives a perfect, harmonious finishing touch to the development of these superb wines. The great reds: Terre Brune, Rocca Rubia, Noras, Araja, Grotta Rossa and Antigua, are accompanied by stylish whites: Villa di Chiesa, Cala Silente, Pedraia, Villa Solais, Latinia, all offsprings of an ancient winemaking tradition coupled with the use of state-of-the-art technology in the sectors of vinification, stabilization and bottling.

The wines: Sulcis’ Excellences

Good wine is born in the vineyard – our job is to enhance grape quality through skilful cultivation, and then, in the winery, to make the best use of this gift of nature. The Santadi Winery processes mainly black grapes, about 75% of total production. The most important varieties are Carignano, Monica, Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot and Bovaleddu as regards the reds, and Vermentino, Nuragus, Chardonnay and Nasco for the whites.

Vineyard cultivation methods are carefully designed to maintain low production per plant and so maximise grape quality.

Silver for Santadi

Silver for Santadi’s Rocca Rubia

Santadi’s Rocca Rubia 2020 received a silver medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2023

The Cantina di Santadi Winery is located in the Sulcis area, in South-western Sardinia, just a few miles from the dazzling beaches and white sand dunes of Porto Pino.

The Rocca Rubia 2020 got a silver medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2023.

Rocca Rubia:

Classification: Carignano del Sulcis DOC Riserva

Grapes: 100% Carignano

Harvesting: by hand, starting in late September and ending around mid October

Wine and food pairing:

The wine matches very well with red meat, wild boar, roast suckling pig and matured Pecorino cheese.

VINICATION AND DEVELOPMENT: After stemming and crushing, the grapes are fermented and macerated for 12-14 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature of 25-28 °C. During this period, the must is frequently pumped up, thus fully absorbing the noble tannins typical of bush-grown carignano. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred to small, fine grained 1st and 2nd-passage French oak casks for 10-12 months, to further develop its biochemical and chemical-physical properties, aroma and taste. Further aging in the bottle for several months enables early bouquet development.

TASTING NOTES:

Colour: Deep, almost solid ruby red.

Nose: Intense fruity notes of blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, myrtle, leather and liquorice.

Palate: Big and velvety, great structure and long aromatic finish, a full-bodied wine.
