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.
A Mediterranean grape variety, rich in personality
Carignano is a wine that originates in a warm and breezy climatic context, where proximity to the sea and the soils of Sulcis favor complete ripening and clear aromatic profiles. On this page, you will find bottles such as BUIO Rosso Carignano del Sulcis DOC, Assaje Carignano IGT Isola dei Nuraghi, Gavino 2014 Carignano del Sulcis Riserva MESA, Buio Buio IGT Isola dei Nuraghi Riserva, along with versions in magnum format and special sizes like BUIO Rosso Carignano del Sulcis DOC from 9 Liters and Assaje 2019 Carignano IGT Isola dei Nuraghi MAGNUM Capichera.
The presence of different vintages, such as 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, and 2020, makes the selection suitable for those looking for both the immediacy of the sip and labels with greater complexity and evolutionary potential.

When to choose them and which dishes to pair them with
