Santadi

A successful Rosato is the aromatic Tre Torri with a spicy-intense taste and the pleasantly fresh aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

The Grotta Rossa clearly embodies its terroir. The clean, powerful bouquet is reminiscent of ripe berries and cherries. On the palate, the tannin melds excellently with the acidity before the soft finish sets in. SUPERIORE.DE

A nuanced bouquet of yellow fruits, which constantly exudes new facets and aromas 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

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

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

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

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

Pronounced aroma of berries and spices. Dense and full on the palate with a fascinating balance between fruit and tannin. A complex red with a smooth but emphatic finish. SUPERIORE.DE

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

Latinia is made from raisined Nasco grapes and matures for a short time in used barriques. It exudes a fine, elegant bouquet that is reminiscent of pickled fruits and is underpinned by a hint of vanilla. The round taste is sherry-like, slightly sweet and has a nice persistence. SUPERIORE.DE

"Radiant, brilliant dark orange. In the nose of blood orange jam, dried apricots, light dates, walnuts. On the palate with a lot of sweetness and melting, spreads over the tongue with a lot of viscosity, delicately perceptible tannin gives freshness and grip, in the finish clearly after sultanas." Falstaff

"Beautiful peach, apricot and honeyed nectarine nose. Clean and gentle palate with cleansing acidity and a delicious rich finish." Decanter

"The 2015 Vino da Uve Stramature Latinia opens with a kaleidoscopic display of candied lemon peel, grilled orange, pineapple, kiwi, coconut, golden raisins and hints of yellow curry. It's deeply textural and creamy in feel yet somehow lifted, mixing salty and sweet through notes of dried nectarine, peach, baked apple and roasted almond. This finishes impossibly fresh considering the depth and density on the palate, seeming to recall all of the floral and tropical tones found within, and finally tapering off to a note of spiced ginger cookies. Fans of dessert wines take note: this is truly worth seeking out. The Latinia is produced using late-harvest Nasco grapes, a variety indigenous to Sardinia." Vinous

Pronounced aroma of berries and spices. Dense on the palate with a fascinating balance between tannin and full-bodiedness. A complex red with a long, smooth finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling ruby with light dark garnet. Clear and open nose, full of blueberries, spicy macchia notes, some earthy tones in the background. Rich attack and course, opens with pithy, firm tannin, lots of zwetscke, firm pressure on the final." Falstaff

"The 2018 Carignano del Sulcis Rocca Rubia impresses more for purity than power, presenting a display of sweet florals, crushed stone, bright cherry and hints of flowery undergrowth. It's silky in texture, lifted by vibrant acidity, with tart wild berry fruits and saline-minerals giving way to violet tones toward the close. A subtle coating of tannin lingers, framing the experience nicely, as this tapers off with a bitter twang and hints of licorice. The Rocca Rubia is very pretty and lightly structured, showing the difficulties of the vintage while maintaining admirable balance." Vinous

Terre Brune is a 100% Carignano of seductive balance and fruitiness and every year one of the best reds of Sardinia. Aged in barriques, it shows a fresh but ripe fruit on the nose with a slight hint of cocoa. On the palate of beautiful depth, with present tannins. An exemplary wine vinified with love and full of regional typicity. SUPERIORE.DE
