Sardinia, considered one of the most beautiful islands in the world because of its unspoilt beaches and crystal-clear waters, has a remarkable wine production. It is no coincidence that huge expanses of vineyards are scattered all over the place, growing luxuriantly thanks to the mild and breezy climate. Moreover, Sardinia is also rich in autochthonous vines in addition to the international ones that were planted in the 18th century by the Aragonese and therefore represent the strong point in Sardinian wine production. These are vines such as Vermentino and Cannonau, true emblems of the island. Alongside these, another very important grape variety is Vernaccia di Oristano, followed by Nuragus, Carignano, Sangiovese, Nieuddu, Malvasia and Manzoni Bianco . Despite having only one Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG), Sardinia can boast no less than 17 Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC). Among the best Sardinian wines on xtraWine you can find many that have been awarded important prizes by Bibenda, Gambero Rosso and AIS, all from important wineries such as Sella & Mosca, Quartomoro, Contini, Argiolas and Capichera. As they are fairly structured red and white wines, they are ideal for meat and game dishes, but the particularity of Sardinian red wines lies also in their ability to adapt to more delicate dishes such as soups, fish and shellfish.
