Carignano Wines: the authentic character of Southern Sardinia

The Carignano collection gathers some of the most interesting interpretations of one of the emblematic grape varieties of Southern Sardinia. In this selection, there is space for wines with an intense, Mediterranean, and deeply territorial profile, capable of telling the story of Carignano from Sulcis and its expressions in IGT Isola dei Nuraghi and DOC Carignano del Sulcis.

From dark fruit to spicy texture, through a full and enveloping palate, these reds express a natural balance between structure, freshness, and softness. The collection includes labels from wineries such as AgriPunica, Argiolas, Cantine Mesa, and Capichera, entities that have contributed to enhancing the potential of Carignano with styles that are different yet consistent with the territory.
