Wines of Sardinia: The best Sardinian wines at unbeatable prices

Sardinien, das wegen seiner unberührten Strände und seines kristallklaren Wassers als eine der schönsten Inseln der Welt gilt, verfügt über eine bemerkenswerte Weinproduktion. Es ist kein Zufall, dass überall riesige Weinberge verstreut sind, die dank des milden und luftigen Klimas üppig gedeihen. Darüber hinaus ist Sardinien reich an autochthonen Rebsorten, die im 18. Jahrhundert von den Aragoniern gepflanzt wurden und daher die Stärke der sardischen Weinproduktion darstellen. Es handelt sich um Rebsorten wie den Vermentino und den Cannonau, wahre Wahrzeichen der Insel. Daneben ist eine weitere wichtige Rebsorte die Vernaccia di Oristano, gefolgt von Nuragus, Carignano, Sangiovese, Nieuddu, Malvasia und Manzoni Bianco . Obwohl Sardinien nur eine einzige Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) besitzt, kann es nicht weniger als 17 Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) vorweisen. Unter den besten sardischen Weinen auf xtraWine finden Sie einige, die von Bibenda, Gambero Rosso und AIS mit bedeutenden Preisen ausgezeichnet wurden. Sie stammen alle von bedeutenden Weinkellereien wie Sella & Mosca, Quartomoro, Contini, Argiolas und Capichera. Da es sich um relativ strukturierte Rot- und Weißweine handelt, sind sie ideal für Fleisch- und Wildgerichte, aber die Besonderheit der sardischen Rotweine liegt auch in ihrer Fähigkeit, sich an delikatere Gerichte wie Suppen, Fisch und Schalentiere anzupassen.

Sardinian Wines: A Millenary Tradition

A Mosaic of Viticultural Cultures

Sardinian wines, born in a land rich in natural wonders, represent the miraculous syncretism of ancient Nuragic, Semitic, Phoenician, Cretan and Roman traditions. Today, the modern valorisation of regional productions aims at international contexts, rediscovering ancient traditions and opening up to global and demanding markets. Thanks to the recovery of territorial traditions, producers have created masterpieces that are appreciated worldwide, as well as small productions that are in demand among enthusiasts.

A Millennial Legacy

Viticulture and wine production in Sardinia date back to the Iron Age, as evidenced by archaeological findings. The island independently developed wine production before the arrival of the Greeks.

Influences from the Past

During Roman and medieval times, important wine production emerged in the main Sardinian centres. Spanish influence led to the spread of the Carignano and Spanish Bovale grape varieties. Other populations, such as the Aragonese, Genoese, Pisans and Sabaudis, imported grape varieties and traditions.

A Productive Redemption

In recent decades, entrepreneurship has contributed to the revival of Sardinian wines, with the collaboration of prestigious oenologists such as Giacomo Tachis, promoter of the first Super Sardinian, and modern wineries such as Cantina Mesa, Argiolas, Sella & Mosca and Capichera. Some small artisan producers such as Dettori, Columbu and Sedilesu have preserved ancient traditions.

Famous Production Areas

The fame of Sardinian wines is linked to famous types such as Vermentino di Gallura, Carignano del Sulcis and Cannonau. However, numerous indigenous varieties such as Torbato, Nuragus, Nasco, Granazza, Malvasia Bianca and Vernaccia deserve more notoriety. The main production areas are Gallura, Alghero, Sulcis, Cagliari and the province of Nuoro.

Scents and Flavours of the Territory

The best Sardinian wines are characterised by great intensity, enhancing the Mediterranean and island profile. From the intense aromas of myrtle, shrubs and red fruit of Cannonau to the marine freshness of Torbato and the sunny warmth of Malvasia di Bosa. The whites are paired with seafood specialities such as mullet roe and lobster, while the full-bodied reds go well with roast porceddu and typical pecorino cheese.
