The Santadi Winery came into being in1960, when a group of grape growers, coordinated by ETFAS, the Land Reform Board of Sardinia, joined forces to set up a cooperative winemaking and marketing business. The place was – and is – Santadi, south-western Sardinia, in the heart of the Sulcis district.

Since then, the only direction has been upwards, as the Santadi wines continue to spread and reap appreciation worldwide. A success story made possible by the whole team, which includes the grape growers, directors, marketing staff and all winery workers, forming a reservoir of expertise that is an asset for the whole territory.

Origin The vineyards are located in the area around the municipality of Santadi
Climate Hot and dry in summer, temperate in winter.
Soil composition The soils tend to be medium-textured: sandy, clayey.
Cultivation system Espalier
Harvest To maintain the acidity and freshness of the grapes, harvesting begins in mid/late August, by hand, in boxes and in the cool hours of the morning.
Wine making After harvesting, the grapes undergo a classic white vinification process and are softly pressed with a maximum yield of 50% in free-run must, which is left to decant for 24 hours. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for a week, after which the base matures for 6-7 months on the fine lees in steel vats. Secondary fermentation in the bottle is carried out with selected yeasts at a constant temperature of 12°C for about 40 days and the ageing process continues for at least 18 months with continuous remuage.
Aging In the last phase, the degorgement or disgorgement, a special liquer is used, typical for our product, which is able to enhance the characteristics of the grapes of origin. This is followed by further ageing in the bottle for at least 6 months before marketing.
