Santadi Rocca Rubia Riserva
Autochthonous grape varieties - a phenomenon we encounter everywhere in Italy, including Sardinia. Fortunately, the trend back to the roots and the demand for the originals is great. Anyone who today owns the grape varieties Vermentino and Nuragus (white) as well as the reds Carignano, Cannonau, and Monica in Sardinia can consider themselves lucky.
In recent decades, production has seen a massive decline. What remains are the best and healthiest vineyards. The loss in quantity is in favor of quality.
Santadi is one of the leading producers in Sardinia. A great result for a cooperative. Also thanks to the young and extremely modest oenologist Piero Cella. In addition, it is supported by one of Italy's first top oenologists, the already 80-year-old Giacomo Tachis.
The wines from Santadi come from the best vineyards near the coast of Sardinia in the Sulcis region. The soils have the perfect composition for the older Carignano vines, from which beautifully concentrated wines are produced. After one year of barrel aging and one year in the bottle, the result is an elegant combination of spice and (forest) fruits. This Carignano del Sulcis from Santadi is particularly suitable for aging in barriques. Thanks to the microclimate, the wine has a perfect balance between extract, tannins, alcohol, and acidity almost every year.
Intense, deep ruby red. On the nose, intense, fruity notes of ripe blackberries and raspberries, but also vanilla, leather, and licorice. On the palate, velvety tannins, full body, and intense fruit aroma. Complexity and multi-layeredness characterize this wine.

a really good wine
very complex and intense taste
Quick answers
How does the Santadi Rocca Rubia Riserva taste?
A dry Carignano with intense fruit on the nose and spice on the palate, plus forest fruits. The barrique barrel provides structure; extract, tannins, alcohol and acidity are usually balanced according to the producer. The color is deep ruby red.
What does the wine pair best with?
It goes well with hearty dishes: game, lamb, braised meat and Iberico pork. It also goes well with pasta with a rich sauce or risotto, because the spice and fruit offer enough of a counterpoint.
At what temperature should I serve it?
At 16 to 18 °C. This is slightly cooler than normal room temperature and keeps the fruit fresh without emphasizing the tannins. When in doubt, place the bottle in the fridge briefly beforehand.
How was the wine aged?
It matures for one year in barriques and then lies in the bottle for another year before it goes on sale. This gives it the spicy note alongside the forest fruits.
Where does the Carignano come from and who makes it?
It comes from older vines in the Sulcis in southwestern Sardinia, near the coast. It was produced by the Cantina di Santadi cooperative, the vintage is 2022.
How strong is the wine and what bottle size is it available in?
The alcohol content is 14% vol. The wine comes in the classic 0.75-liter bottle and is dry.
The Cantina
Cantina di Santadi – Sardinia as it should taste: wild, sun-drenched, full of character. Since 1960, the winery has been vinifying in the southwest of the island, in the Sulcis region.
Their pride and joy: the Carignano. In this barren landscape between the sea and white dunes, the grape variety finds its full strength. The wines are surprising – powerful, elegant, with dark berries, Mediterranean herbs, and a salty freshness.
Whether the legendary Terre Brune or fresh Vermentino: here, the heart and soul of generations of Sardinian winemakers are in every bottle.
