Nuragus di Cagliari PEDRAIA DOC CANTINA DI SANTADI

Pedraia della Cantina Santadi is a Nuragus di Cagliari DOC, obtained from pure Nuragus grapes, one of the oldest native varieties in Sardinia. The grapes come from vineyards in the lower Sulcis cultivated on sandy and clayey soils, in a warm and breezy environment typically Mediterranean. Harvesting is late and generally takes place between the end of September and the first half of October, with manual harvesting and careful selection of bunches. After soft pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature to preserve freshness and aromatic integrity. The wine then ripens for a few months in concrete tanks in contact with the yeasts, where it completes its balance before bottling.

On the nose it offers intense aromas of ripe yellow fruit, with light buttery notes and delicate floral nuances. In the mouth it is full but delicate, with an enveloping softness and good persistence, supported by a pleasant freshness and a balanced closure.

Recommended pairings with this wine from Cantina Santadi

It pairs very well with seafood first courses, especially those with bottarga or shellfish, but also with fresh or soft cheeses and Mediterranean dishes that are not too structured. The recommended service temperature is around 10–12 °C.
