The wine

The Metodo Classico Cannonau Brut Nature Saeprus from Cantina Castiadas is a sublime sparkling interpretation of the Cannonau grape, maintaining all its distinctive characteristics. Crafted from selected grapes from the best vineyards in southeastern Sardinia, an area blessed by an ideal climate that enhances a unique aromatic complexity and unparalleled freshness. The wine presents a light straw yellow color, almost crystalline, indicating its purity. The fine, steady perlage foreshadows the quality and care in its production. The nose is immediately struck by intense white fruit and balsamic notes, enriched with floral undertones and a touch of toasted bread, resulting from over 36 months of aging on the lees. On the palate, the Saeprus Brut Nature showcases extraordinary freshness and purity, balanced by a liveliness that compensates for the absence of added sugars, typical of the Brut Nature style. A delicate creaminess blends with marked minerality and savoriness, leading to a long, complex finish reminiscent of the Mediterranean scrub. This sparkling wine is an excellent aperitif, beautifully paired with seafood starters and raw fish dishes, or for celebrating special occasions, offering an unforgettable and refined tasting experience.

The winery

The Cantina di Castiadas is a reference point in the southeast Sardinian viticulture, combining deep respect for the terroir with technological advancement. This social partnership is exemplary in merging traditional winemaking practices with modern innovations, establishing an inseparable bond with the land through its members. The predominantly cultivated grape varieties, Cannonau and Vermentino, find their ideal habitat in the Mediterranean climate of the region, tempered by the proximity to the sea. Modern winemaking ensures the fidelity of varietal characteristics, emphasizing the uniqueness of Castiadas' terroir, a blend of granitic sands and clays that impart intensity and minerality to the wines. This synergy between nature and technique leads to the creation of wines that not only reflect the essence of the terroir but also narrate the history and cultural traditions of Sardinia, offering a tasting experience deeply rooted in the island's customs.
