Wines and spirits Southwest

Cantina Contini is an institution in Sardinia: you can't leave the island without visiting it. Proud of its traditions and origins, the estate is nonetheless a forward-looking enterprise, whose wines regularly win awards. The wines are subtle and refined... fascinating! You're in the kingdom of Vernaccia, the grape variety from which a famous oxidative wine is made, a Petit Futé favorite. The emotion continues when you visit the century-old tuns. A unique place, a magical moment.

Vini, liquori e spiriti di Sardegna. Spirit of Sardinia, rather. Silvio Carta is a man who does not leave anyone indifferent and the wines he produces are in his image: refined and gourmet. The estate is almost a hundred years old and the work pays off: awards rain down on this estate which, without sacrificing quality, has played the card of modernity and diversity. But we are here to taste the famous Vernaccia, an oxidative white wine whose most precious ingredient is the time spent aging in the barrel which reveals the power and complexity of this wine.

It all began in 2009 when Roberto landed on the island and founded Sant'Andre, which at the time was dedicated to fruit and vegetable production. In 2019, Roberto's passion for vineyards became his profession. Today, all vegetable, fruit, olive and vine production is carried out without chemical inputs, to allow the soil and the plant to express themselves freely. More than a wine, Roberto's wines are a way of life, a philosophy based on love of the land and the Sulcis region. We love them without moderation!

Opened in 1960, this winery placed the Carignano del Sulcis vineyards on the wine map of Sardinia. With the 1984 vintage was born the island's first barrel-matured red, the Santadi Terre Brune, with a velvety palate and notes of red fruit (plum, blueberry), tobacco and chocolate. The guided tour of the cellars will allow you to discover a wide range of wines: wines of excellence, including several award-winning wines, vin de garde or table wine and even sparkling wine and grappa. The cellar will make sure to accompany all your desires. Visits and tastings on reservation.

La Sabbiosa is the only certified organic estate on the island. These are small plots of less than a hectare, surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and wild plants that preserve the local biodiversity. The challenge was to produce a modern wine from an ancestral vineyard. The furniture in the cellar and reception areas is mainly made from recycled and reclaimed materials and objects. In summer, we organize sunset aperitifs and meals in the vineyards. The welcome is as warm and delicate as the wines themselves.
