📍 Sardinia

Sardinia is a large island in the Mediterranean that belongs to Italy. Distinctive wines are made here from local grapes. The main ones are Cannonau (Spanish Grenache) for reds and Vermentino for whites. Grenache has grown on the island for a long time, and the Sardinians regard it as their own.

The island is divided into several wine zones, such as Gallura in the north, Sulcis in the south-west, Cagliari in the south, Nurra, Barbagia, Planargia and others. Well-known wines include Vermentino di Gallura, Cannonau di Sardegna, Monica di Sardegna, Malvasia di Bosa, Vernaccia di Oristano, Giro di Cagliari and Moscato di Sorso-Sennori. The name “Isola dei Nuraghi” covers simple wines from across the island.

The climate is warm and dry, with a wind from the sea. Vineyards grow on hills and among rocks. Red Cannonau is full-bodied, with aromas of berries and spice. Vermentino gives a fresh, aromatic white wine.

Sardinia belongs to Italian wine. Special, rare wines have been kept here too, such as Vernaccia di Oristano, aged under a veil of yeast. Alcohol is for adults.
