To complete the offer of Antigu Medau products, wine could certainly not be missing, given the island’s vine-wine traditions. To start, we concentrated on the most common vines in Sardinia, a powerful red like Cannonau and a refined white like Vermentino.
While waiting to add other local vines such as Carignano del Sulcis organically, Nasco, Nuragus and others, a gem such as Moscato di Cagliari, with an intense and sweet aroma, could not be missing. They are all wines with a Denomination of Controlled Origin (D.O.C).
We wanted to give the names of our lands and vineyards to the wines.
