The wine

The Cannonau Capo Ferrato Rosato from Cantina Castiadas is a sophisticated expression celebrating Sardinia's most iconic grape, the Cannonau, in a delightful rosé form. Selected grapes undergo a brief cold maceration to enhance subtle aromatic notes and freshness, followed by gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel, thus preserving the aromatic vivacity. It boasts a salmon pink color with vivid reflections and a bouquet of rare elegance, featuring fragrances of strawberries, cherries, and a floral and herbaceous bouquet evocative of the Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is distinguished by its vibrant freshness, balanced by an acidity that supports the structure, ending in a long and refreshing finish. It pairs perfectly with seafood appetizers, vegetarian dishes, white meats, and spicy foods, offering a touch of Mediterranean freshness.

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.
