The wine

The Cannonau di Sardegna Capo Ferrato from Cantina Castiadas is an outstanding example of how this varietal can express the richness of the Sardinian territory. Made from carefully selected and hand-picked grapes, this wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve its primary aromas, enhancing freshness and clarity of scent. It boasts a vibrant ruby red color and unfolds a bouquet that is a triumph of woodland berries such as blackberries and cherries, enriched with spicy undertones. The palate is marked by a solid yet harmonious structure, with a rich taste that mirrors the aromatic profile, ending in a long and pleasingly complex finish. This Cannonau pairs perfectly with traditional Mediterranean dishes, ideal for festive and social occasions.

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.
