Cannonau

Based in Tempio Pausania, at the foot of the Limbara Mountain, Cantina Gallura produces a range of different expressions of the Vermentino grape.

Founded in 1956, Cantina Trexenta is a cooperative with around 200 hectares at its disposal. Primary varieties are Vermentino, Cannonau and, more recently, Chardonnay, Montepulciano and Carignano.

Cantina Giuseppe Sedilesu is a small family run winery in the village of Mamoiada in the centre of Sardinia. The company is known for producing full bodied wines from Cannonau. Utilising the flexibility of the IGP Barbagia they also produce rare varieties such as Granazza.

Antonella Corda is known for premium wines from the Vermentino grape as well as some admirable work with the once popular but now obscure white Nuragus grape.

Cantine Su’entu is based in Sanluri where the family farm three hectares of Cannonau and thirteen hectares of Vermentino.

Cantina Argiolas is surely the most recognisable name on the Sardinian wine scene. They produce a range of entry level wines, as well as a series of top end examples. They are best known for their red Turriga - a wine that has singlehandedly put Sardinia on the Italian wine map.
