Santadi

Villa Solais is a splendid and distinctive white wine. Its floral and fruity fragrance persistence is an expression of the Sardinian countryside from which it comes. On the palate, a beautiful intensity with pleasing nuances of grapefruit and sage. The delicate acidity and the harmonious finish bring much pleasure and enjoyment. SUPERIORE.DE

"A medium-bodied white with aromas of chopped apples, chamomile and mango stones. There’s good weight and ripeness here, even some nuttiness." James Suckling

"Pink grapefruit, nectarine and green apple on the nose. On the palate, limes and lots of green apple slices take over. The wine finishes stony with fruits and stones, from quartz and slate to peaches and nectarines, and finally an astringent, nutty note of almond skins." Wine Enthusiast

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

"Roses and candied citrus form an inviting bouquet as the 2022 Tre Torri slowly opens in the glass. It has a soft texture and is round with ripe fruit and sweet spices. The 2022 leaves a saline concentration that is slightly chewy but completely freshly tapered." Vinous

"A simple rosato with pink cherries, peach skins and stones. Dry, fresh and medium-bodied palate with elegant nectarine and cherry flavors." James Suckling

A fragrance of yellow fruits rich in nuances, which exudes ever new facets of green apple, lime zest, gooseberry and fennel in the glass. On the palate, a great structure with a crisp bite and lots of fresh berry fruit. Long, soft and very pleasant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Real bite and excellent acidity. Very pure. Medium length." Jancis Robinson

Intense aroma of ripe, fleshy red fruits, elderberries and roasted coffee. Warm, enveloping and full-bodied, unfolds with a lot of fruit melting and soft tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Raspberries, licorice, milk chocolate and raw mushrooms on the nose. Juicy and medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity." James Suckling

The Grotta Rossa clearly embodies its terroir. 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

"Bright cherry red colour. Quite rich and sweet. Not a hint of astringency! Apart from a tiny hint of acidity and dryness at the very end, but a pure, authentic expression of the grape variety." Jancis Robinson

"Mushrooms, cherries, clay and herbs on the nose. Creamy and flavoursome with a medium to full body and soft tannins. Very drinkable." James Suckling

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

"A restrained nose on this wine offers grapefruit, lime, lots of fresh cut grass and finally a hint of white pepper. Grapefruit and lime continue on the palate, with both a bit of lemon icing and substantial heat that adds to the spicy, peppery overtones." Wine Enthusiast

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 bittersweet hint of coffee and balsamic spices. Hints of tobacco and liquorice linger 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

"The Carignano Riserva di Santadi is very original and unpredictable and a wine to drink at least once in a lifetime.
