Santadi Winery is located in Sulcis, in the south–west area of Sardinia, as the crow flies a few kilometers from the wonderful beaches and the white sand dunes of Porto Pino. Founded in 1960, once overcome the difficulties of the first years with the arrival of a new management group, animated by that determination which generates enthusiasm and passion, the company undertook other strategies that gave it a new face with more consistent guidelines for producer members. The ambitious goal: to bet on bottled wine, red wines in particular, to give visibility and identity to the most important cultivar of the territory: Carignano, without forgetting the traditional white grapes of Sardinia, such as Vermentino, Nuragus and Nasco. In terms of wine, they aim high, asking advice to the internationally renowned oenologist Giacomo Tachis, whose arrival represented a breakthrough at the Santadi Winery. From the grapes of vineyards with saplings (Latin vineyard) wines based on Carignano are obtained, of exuberant extractive content, of noble tannic framework and perfect balance among organic acid component, alcohol and polyphenolic value.
The thoughtful use of French barriques closes beautifully and harmoniously the evolutionary cycle of these exciting wines. The great reds: Terre Brune, Rocca Rubia, Araja, Grotta Rossa and Antigua, are accompanied by the stylish Villa di Chiesa, Cala Silente, Pedraia, Villa Solais, Latinia, white wines, children of the ancient winemaking tradition coupled with the new technologies in the field of winemaking, stabilization and bottling.
The innovative spirit, with respect for local traditions, is for our producers an assiduous and constant commitment, that not only wants to honor the same Winery, but also to safeguard a true heritage of tradition, culture, taste, style and history that are the true essence of our peasant reality.
