The wine

The Vermentino di Sardegna Praidis from Cantina Castiadas is a shining example of how the unique Sardinian terroir is beautifully expressed in this wine. Grown in the sunny and breezy areas of southeastern Sardinia, the Vermentino is hand-picked at the peak of its ripeness, ensuring the utmost expression of freshness and aromatic intensity. The vinification in stainless steel tanks is aimed at preserving these intrinsic qualities, maintaining the authenticity and purity of the fruit. Visually, the Vermentino Praidis stands out with its bright straw-yellow color, enhanced by delicate greenish reflections, a promise of vivacity and freshness. The bouquet is a symphony of aromas, predominantly white fleshed fruits like peach and green apple, enriched with notes of Mediterranean herbs and a floral touch, lending an elegant refinement to the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine reveals a sparkling freshness, supported by a balanced acidity leading to a persistent and savory finish, typical of Vermentino. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, fish dishes, and light Mediterranean cuisine such as summer salads or grilled vegetables. The Vermentino di Sardegna Praidis is not just a wine; it is an invitation to explore the diversity and richness of the Sardinian wine landscape, offering an authentic taste of its lands.

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.
