In this article we will explore the main wine denominations of Sardinia and their vines, discovering the flavors and aromas that make these bottles truly excellent.

Introduction to wine production in Sardinia

The production of wine in Sardinia dates back to antiquity, with traces of viticulture dating back to the Nuragic era. The island is characterized by a great variety of microclimates, which allow the cultivation of many native vines. The vineyards are often cultivated in the traditional way, on terraces or dry, without the use of chemical pesticides. This makes Sardinian wines produced according to artisanal and environmentally friendly methods.

The main wine denominations of Sardinia

The wine denominations of Sardinia are divided into four main categories: Denomination of Controlled Origin ( DOC ), Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin ( DOCG ), Typical Geographical Indication ( IGT ) and Table Wines. Let's see in detail the characteristics of each one.

Denomination of Controlled Origin (DOC)

The denomination of controlled origin ( DOC ) is a quality mark assigned to wines that meet specific production criteria. These criteria concern the production area, the type of vine used, the cultivation and winemaking methods. In Sardinia there are 20 DOCs, among which Cannonau di Sardegna, Vermentino di Sardegna and Monica di Sardegna stand out.

Cannonau of Sardinia

Cannonau di Sardegna is one of the most famous wines of the island. The vine used is Cannonau, a native variety that grows mainly in the Campidano area. The wine is characterized by an intense red colour, a fruity aroma and a dry and persistent flavour. It goes perfectly with red meats and aged cheeses.

The denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin ( DOCG ) is the maximum expression of the quality of Italian wines. In Sardinia there is only one DOCG , Vermentino di Gallura. This dry white wine is produced in the Gallura area, in the north-east of the island, with grapes from the Vermentino vine. The wine has an intense straw yellow colour, a complex aroma and a fresh and persistent flavour. It goes perfectly with fish, shellfish and seafood dishes.

Typical Geographical Indication (IGT)

In Sardinia there are four IGTs: Isola dei Nuraghi, Sardegna, Tharros and Colli del Limbara. IGT wines can be produced with international grape varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Chardonnay, but also with native varieties.

Table wines

Table wines are wines produced in Sardinia that do not fall into the DOC , DOCG or IGT categories. Despite this, many of them are of the highest quality, produced with native grapes and according to traditional methods. Among the best known are the Carignano del Sulcis and the Nuragus of Cagliari.

In Sardinia, the production of wine is a millenary tradition, which has been handed down from generation to generation.
