Deep golden yellow. Honey, Mediterranean scrub, citrus notes. Powerful, complex, mineral, balanced, enveloping and deep.

Giuseppe Sedilesu's Perda Pintà is a wine rooted in the winemaking tradition of Barbagia, using the native Granazza grape, a white berry typical of the area. Fermentation and maturation take place in barriques, giving Perda Pintà depth and complexity. The wine's natural minerality, never tamed, helps make it an ideal companion for a seafood meal. Perda Pintà is not just a wine, but a manifestation of Giuseppe Sedilesu's utmost commitment to his production philosophy, centered on respect for nature. This philosophy is reflected in the courageous choice made by Sedilesu in the 1970s, when he and his wife decided to return to the roots of farming culture. The result of this long journey is a wine that embodies the traditional style of production, with sustainable practices in the vineyard and in winemaking, such as the minimal use of sulfites, the use of native yeasts and spontaneous fermentations with long macerations. The vineyards, located in the heart of Barbagia, have recently been converted to organic, but Sedilesu's approach has always been characterized by minimal human intervention. The genealogy of the vines, grown using the traditional alberello system, is of great interest, with vines over fifty years old and one that even boasts a century of history. Perda Pintà is the fruit of meticulous work to enhance the bond between man and vine. The choice to vinify Granazza alone, without mixing it with Cannonau, demonstrates the intent to create a wine of extraordinary personality. Its intense aromatic concentration and powerful structure make it suitable for unconventional gastronomic pairings.

Perda Pintà by Giuseppe Sedilesu: an archaic and complex white wine from the native Granazza grape and the warmth of Mamoiada. Masterfully vinified in barriques, it expresses Sedilesu's production philosophy. Over fifty years of history in the vineyards, an enveloping sensory experience, savory and mineral. Ideal for unconventional food pairings.

Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva Doc

Cannonau

Intense ruby red with garnet highlights. Ripe red fruit, spices, graphite. Full, dynamic, warm, delicate tannins, long-lived, balanced.

Giuseppe Sedilesu's Cannonau Riserva "Carnevale" is an authentic expression of passion and winemaking art, coming from the heart of Barbagia, where tradition merges with innovation and this wine embodies a modern reinterpretation of the famous Cannonau grape variety. The mastery of production is manifested in "Carnevale," a Cannonau Riserva originating from Mamoiada, one of the most prestigious areas for the cultivation of this noble grape variety. The vineyards, located between 600 and 800 meters above sea level, enjoy a cool climate and considerable temperature ranges, giving the wine a unique complexity. The soils, derived from the disintegration of ancient granite rocks, are rich in minerals, helping to give the wine a perfect balance between freshness and a well-pronounced alcohol component, a typical characteristic of wines made from the Grenache grape, known in Sardinia as Cannonau. The careful care of the vines, which are bush-trained with low yields, less than 40 quintals per hectare, and the spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts during a 20-25 day maceration on the skins, contribute to create an extraordinary wine. After this crucial stage, the wine rests for 14-16 months in 225-liter barriques, after which it is bottled without filtering and aged for at least 6 months in the cellar. Cannonau "Carnevale" presents itself in the glass with an intense ruby red color, underlined by garnet reflections. The bouquet opens with fragrances of Mediterranean maquis herbs, soft spices, subtle hints of graphite, and notes of red fruit and jam. The sip is enveloping, warm and rich, the tannins, delicate and elegant, blend perfectly with a harmonious finish, balanced by a pleasant freshness.

Explore the charm of traditional Sardinian wine making with Giuseppe Sedilesu's Cannonau Riserva "Carnevale." A modern wine with ancient roots that captures the essence of Barbagia, with notes of herbs, spices and red fruit.

Ghirada Murruzzone is an extraordinary oenological expression of Cantina Giuseppe Sedilesu, whose first vintage dates back to 2019. This wine is the result of careful vinification of Cannonau grapes, carefully grown in the cru that gives the label its name. In the Sardinian dialect of Mamoiadino, the term 'Ghirada' denotes a particular plot of vineyard bordered by capezzagna, an exceptionally valuable soil that carries a rich history. The name 'Murruzzone' refers to the vineyard where the grapes come from, adding a touch of authenticity and territoriality to the wine. The graphic concept of the label is inspired by the ancient tool called "sa uchèrta" or "the fork," used to plant the rootstocks in the soil. This tool, a symbol of tradition and passion, occupies the center of attention on the label. The carefully designed graphic operation repeats the image of the fork multiple times, forming three concentric figures that not only recall the aesthetics of traditional Sardinian jewelry, but also metaphorically represent the surrounding vineyards. The producer uses these elegant jewels as a symbol of his true treasure: the vineyards that give life to this extraordinary wine.

Cannonau di Sardegna Doc

Dark ruby red with light purple highlights. Wild berries, blueberry, currant, wild blackberry, red plum, hints of herbs and spices. Ripe, savory, persistent tannin.

"Li Sureddi" Romangia Rosso by Antichi Vigneti Manca is a wine that carries with it the rich winemaking tradition of Sardinia. Made from grapes of the rare and ancient clone of Cannonau known as Retagliadu Nieddu, this wine is a testament to the passionate attention that the Manca sisters devote to the preservation of this grape variety, which was recognized and included in the ampelographic records of the main Sardinian grape varieties by Cettolini Sante, a scholar of vines in Sardinia in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The name "Retagliadu Nieddu," which means "black clipped" in Italian, was precisely so called because of the multiple cuts made at harvest since it has small but widespread clusters on the plant. The sensory profile of "Li Sureddi" is a harmonious fusion of fruity notes and aromatic herbs. In the mouth, the presence of well-integrated tannins and just the right amount of alcoholic matter give the wine a robust structure, while maintaining a pleasant balance thanks to a subtle spiciness and a pleasant savoriness. This wine embodies the perfect combination of finesse and expressiveness.

The Bianco ‘Li Sureddi’ by Antichi Vigneti Manca is a white wine made from Vermentino and Girò Bianco grapes, originally from Romangia. This project, started in 2017 by two sisters (sureddi in Sardinian), aims to respect the vine, the soil and its natural cycles as much as possible, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The vines are cared for with great attention and vinification is carried out in an artisanal way, trying to minimise interventions to enhance the varietal notes of the grapes and the unique characteristics of the terroir. Li Sureddi' Bianco comes from the Badde Pira estate - Sorso (SS), located in the hilly hinterland of Romangia, a picturesque area in the north-western part of Sardinia. This area is known for its warm and always breezy climate, thanks to the Mistral that blows strongly from the north-west. The vines, which are between 40 and 50 years old, are mainly cultivated using the alberello system. The soils consist of white marl rich in limestone and sandstone, of ancient marine origin.

The Nuragus vine is thought to take its name from the Phoenician word "nur" meaning fire; other theory says it derives from "nuraghi," Neolithic dwellings made of stone. The vine differs from all other varieties found in Sardinia, with the sole exception of Semidano. Over the centuries it has never been exploited because of its high yield, which did not allow the production of quality wine, and only in recent years has cultivation been increasing. It is a very drought-resistant grape, characterized by a stubby, medium-large, cylindrical and very compact cluster with round berries of amber-gold color.

The production of Barrua was conceived at the end of the 20th century, and after a few years the definitive wine was obtained. It is made from native Carignano grapes, grown in the Sulcis area, combined with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. The logo on the label represents the obverse of an ancient coin found near the vineyards. It was discovered to date from the mid-12th century, minted for Barisone I of Arborea, King of Sardinia. The owner of the winery, a passionate scholar of history, suggested the idea of using the coin as Agripunica's logo.

Semidano is a vine with great potential, but it is little known and little exploited because of its low resistance to phylloxera and powdery mildew, and its highly variable yield between years, leading it almost to extinction. According to genetic testing, Semidano is separate from all other vines in Sardinia, except with Lacconargeddu, a small local variety.
