Santadi

Villa Solais is a marvellous and unmistakable white wine. Its aromatic persistence of flowers and fruit is an expression of the Sardinian landscape from which it comes. On the palate, it has a beautiful intensity with pleasing nuances of grapefruit and sage. The delicate acidity and harmonious finish are a pleasure to drink. SUPERIORE.DE

Aromas of redcurrants, cherries, dried herbs, stones and cream. Medium-bodied with a round and soft mouthfeel. A successful, aromatic rosato with a spicy, cherry flavour and a pleasantly fresh finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, intense cherry pink colour with a brightening rim. Discreet and delicate on the nose, of lemon zest and red grapefruit. Juicy on the palate, carried by taut acidity through to the medium-long finish." Falstaff

"The 2023 Rosato Tre Torri, 100% Carignano, is utterly charming. Ruby-hued in the glass, its lively cherry-berry fruit and blood orange juiciness engage from start to finish. A shade of dusty, white-pepper-like tannin emerges toward the close, leaving behind the sensation of having eaten a slice of watermelon outside at a picnic table on a hot day—juice running down your chin. This is summertime in a glass." Vinous

A richly nuanced aroma of yellow fruit, with ever new facets of green apple, lime zest, gooseberry and fennel in the glass. A great structure on the palate with a crisp bite and plenty of fresh berry fruit. The finish is very pleasant. SUPERIORE.DE

The Grotta Rossa clearly embodies its terroir and the grape variety. The clean, powerful bouquet is reminiscent of ripe berries and cherries, while on the palate the tannins blend perfectly with the acidity before the soft finish sets in. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense aroma of ripe, fleshy red fruit, elderberries and roasted coffee. Warm, enveloping and full-bodied, unfolds with plenty of fruit flavour and soft tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

Cala Silente is a pearl among Santadi's white wines. This pure Vermentino with a complex bouquet of fresh butter, citrus fruits and white flowers has an enormously rich extract in the flavour and increases in harmony and grace, with salty and nutty-peppery notes on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The Carignano and Sangiovese grapes for the Araja come from red, sandy soils from the coastal region. Ruby red with a lush aroma of fruit, light spicy notes and chocolate. The taste is extremely soft and dense with very fine and elegant tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"Moss and seaweed notes here, alongside sour cherries and citrus rind. Savory with a light stemminess, medium body and a crunchy finish." James Suckling

Noras displays a rich bouquet of crushed blackberries, plums, smoke and brown sugar, underpinned by minty herbal notes. The texture is velvety, with a polished feel to its red and black fruits and a delicately bitter hint of coffee and balsamic spices. A hint of tobacco and liquorice lingers on the long, structured final. Noras needs a little time to fully develop in the glass, but it is worth the wait and gives us plenty of pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

Sparkling garnet red colour. Pronounced aroma of berries and spices. Dense and full flavour with a fascinating balance between fruit and tannin. A complex red with a gentle but persistent finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A rich, fresh red, with a fragrant entry of tar, singed sage and loamy earth hints, this transitions to underscore plum pudding and dried raspberry flavors. Shows a supple frame, thanks to fine, chalky tannins, and the aromatic profile lingers on the sculpted finish." Wine Spectator

"This is a flavoursome and smooth red wine with an array of sour cherry, mushroom, nutmeg and white pepper on the nose. Medium to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a flavoursome, spicy finish." James Suckling

"The Carignano Riserva di Santadi is very original and unpredictable and a wine that should be drunk at least once in a lifetime. A multi-faceted bouquet, notes of pomegranate, with nuances of wild myrtle, paprika and dandelion. Crisp and taut on the palate, with excellent density and a fruity finish." Luca Gardini

The Villa di Chiesa from Vermentino and Chardonnay is very distinctive. It is aged for about eight months in barriques. Smelling of ripe fruit and a delicate vanilla note, the taste is characterised by power and elegance, velvety, spicy and long-lasting. SUPERIORE.DE

Terre Brune is a Carignano, with a small proportion of Bovaleddu, of seductive balance and fruitiness and one of the best reds in Sardinia every year.
