Sardinia

Sardinia, an enchanting island in the Mediterranean Sea, is one of Italy's most diverse winegrowing regions. Spanning 150 miles from north to south—and inland across rolling hills and rugged mountains—Sardinia's vineyards cover a wide array of terroir. The warm, azure waters of the Mediterranean play a major role in moderating Sardinia's climate, sending cooling sea breezes up to 30 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Coastal vineyards thrive with cooler-climate grape varieties, producing crisp, aromatic whites, while further inland, the warmer, sun-soaked valleys yield bigger, bolder reds. This diversity of conditions allows Sardinia to produce a wide range of wine styles, each reflecting the island's unique growing regions.
