The culture of wine here is very ancient, precisely because the environment has always been favorable to this activity: the warm and dry Mediterranean climate, ventilated by the mild sea breezes, the perfect lighting of the hilly areas and the good temperature ranges allow perfect maturation. of the grapes. Siddùra has made the wine culture of the territory its own and has increased its fame, giving life to some of the excellences of Sardinia: Vermentino , symbol of the territory, but also Cannonau , Moscato , Cagnulari, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon . This variety of grapes is grown on mixed soils of granite, sand and clay, with different training methods: spurred cordon, guyot and sapling. All the vinification and aging operations take place in the cellar, which transform these precious grapes into wines of the highest quality.

Siddùra white wine

Vermentino is the most famous and appreciated vine in Sardinia, it grows on soils with good permeability and porosity and gives rise to wines with a strong structure, slightly bitter and mineral to the taste with strong hints of fruit. The Moscato di Sardegna DOC Passito grapes are instead left to dry on the plant, then harvested, vinified for a long time in steel and aged in the bottle. The result is a sweet wine with an amber yellow color, very bright and luminous, excellent for dessert.
