Santadi is located on the southwest coast of Sardinia, specifically in the Sulcis district. They currently have 600 hectares of vineyards spread across the island. The grapes for this red Grotta Rossa come from Carignano del Sulcis. Here, the Carignano grapes are grown by the sea on ancient vines planted in nutrient-rich soil. The pleasant climate, with abundant sunshine and cool breezes, provides the Carignano grapes with everything they need. After a balanced growing season, the bunches are harvested early in the morning and then gently and immediately pressed.
The poppy juice matures for several months in Santadi's cellars before being sold. The wine is given all the love and tranquility it needs to truly shine in the glass. Upon pouring, it reveals a ruby-red color that exudes aromas of ripe red fruit with a light spiciness. The palate is very soft, with abundant ripe red fruit and a hint of licorice. The finish is beautifully long and ripe with hints of cherries and spices.
