For almost thirty years, Karmis has been the flagship wine of Cantina Contini in Cabras – and it celebrates its anniversary in 2026. Created in the 1990s as an attempt to take Vernaccia di Oristano out of its niche and present it in a modern, more accessible guise, it has since become an icon of the company: a wine that combines tradition and the present in one glass. The grapes come from three different sites on the Sinis peninsula and its surroundings: the alluvial, sandy-clayey alluvial soil of the Valle del Tirso, the coastal sandy soils of the Sinis and the volcanic soils of the Terre di Ossidiana on Monte Arci – up to 200 metres above sea level. Vernaccia di Oristano and Vermentino, Spalliera and Alberello, Mediterranean climate with hot, windy summers and little rainfall. Gentle pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation in steel, periodic bâtonnage – then the bottle. A wine that can handle time well.

Straw yellow with golden reflections. Honey, yellow flowers, citrus and mineral flavours on the nose – inviting and complex at the same time. Juicy and invigorating on the palate, with a long salty flavour and a tropical final. This is Sardinia in a glass – clear, full of character, unmistakable. SUPERIORE.DE
