Vintage Report

The 2021 vintage in Italy is considered excellent, with top scores reaching up to 97 points. The red wines from this year often still show a youthful character with good aging potential.

If you've ever been to the island of Sardinia, you've probably had the chance to taste a glass of Santadi wine. It's the island's most famous and refined winery. It was founded in 1960 when several winegrowers joined forces to create even better wines. They shared knowledge and experience and cultivated the finest grapes on their old estates. Initially, it was more of a bulk wine, but that changed when Antonello Pilloni (who remains the chairman today) took charge and decided to make the very best wines. Sardinia. He more than succeeded, and he invited oenologist Giacomo Tachis to join his investigation. And yes, Giacomo is no stranger to the wine world, having worked for top wineries. Since 1970, Santadi has been making the island's finest wines, in our opinion, and that's no surprise.

The harvest for the Grotta Rossa

Santadi is located on the southwest coast of Sardinia, specifically in the Sulcis district. They currently have 600 hectares of vineyards spread across the island. The grapes for this red Grotta Rossa come from Carignano del Sulcis. Here, the Carignano grapes are grown by the sea on ancient vines planted in nutrient-rich soil. The pleasant climate, with abundant sunshine and cool breezes, provides the Carignano grapes with everything they need. After a balanced growing season, the bunches are harvested early in the morning and then gently and immediately pressed.

The scent and taste of the Santadi Grotta Rossa

The poppy juice matures for several months in Santadi's cellars before being sold. The wine is given all the love and tranquility it needs to truly shine in the glass. Upon pouring, it reveals a ruby-red color that exudes aromas of ripe red fruit with a light spiciness. The palate is very soft, with abundant ripe red fruit and a hint of licorice. The finish is beautifully long and ripe with hints of cherries and spices.
