Territory and wine style

The Carignano del Sulcis DOC originates in the extreme southwestern area of Sardinia, in a Mediterranean environment marked by scarce rainfall, frequent winds, and strong seasonal temperature variations. This context helps define a wine with a Mediterranean personality, mature yet fresh, capable of expressing balance between warmth, savoriness, and smoothness. The sandy and clay-limestone soils, rich in skeleton and minerals, support a precise, harmonious style with good definition, while the training on trellises and bush vines on their own roots tells of a viticulture deeply rooted in the territory.
