Siddura: the virtues of heritage

Situated near the medieval, picturesque little village of Luogosanto, Siddùra can be. described as the heart of the Gallura. Here the noble culture of wine is as old as the history of the people who have inhabited this land over the centuries. To renew this antique tradition gives a historical dimension to our lives and daily toils. It fulfills our dream of creating something unique and extraordinary of these ancient roots. We are grateful for being so lucky.

The soil of the Siddura vineyards consists of a mixture of granite, sand and clay. Being loose and dry they provide the ideal conditions for viticulture, where vines give best results when suffering “hunger and thirst”. Mild temperature swings, a ventilated climate and optimal sun radiation, due to the gentle slopes, help to preserve and enhance the organoleptic character of the fruit. Our aim is to produce wines which can be closely identified with their Terroir.

Particular climatic conditions combined with soils of exceptional quantity are fundamental components of great wine. Various kinds of cultivation, meticulous supervision of the vines as well as low yields provide for unique, well-balanced and elegant wines.

The wine cellar, situated at the center of the vineyard is a subterrenean structure with natural insulation resulting from its location. Here the entire production chain takes place, starting with the grapes and ending with the bottling. We favor spontaneous fermentations and use diversified types of containers, like cement tanks, oak barrels. We regard it as our mission to respect and enhance the quality of the product, donated to us by Nature and enriched by our intellectual and professional skills.

BÀCCO

Their Carignano, comes from the most vocated area in the Region of Sardinia for this vine, introduced by the Phoenicians around the 9th century B.C. and then spread in Roman times in the south-west of the island. The wine’s taste-olfactory characteristics reflect those of the territory in which it originates, characterised by Mediterranean scrub, myrtle and strawberry bushes alternating with mastic tree and helichrysum. A dimension between heaven and earth that renders space indefinite and extends the gaze towards the horizon.

Intense ruby red, enveloping and complex, incipit of currants and berries in spirit, accompanied by sweet spices.
The palate is full-bodied, fruity and persistent, fading in an interplay between freshness and subtle tannic notes.

TÌROS

The region of Sardinia, with its unique scenery and enchanting landscapes, is not only a land for great red wines from indigenous grapes, but is now also recognised for the great value of its terroir, ideal for the cultivation of both national and international varieties, capable of producing wines of extraordinary structure and elegance, such as Tìros. Grapes that the winery processes with care to obtain a harmonious and persistent blend. An important wine for long ageing, which could not be missing to complete, with its prestige, the rich range of wines produced at Siddùra.

Intense red, fine and opulent, with a complex bouquet of spicy notes, red fruits and jammy blackberries
Full and velvety, of great elegance, with soft tannins that give pleasantness, intensity and body.

MAÌA

This is their first wine born on the estate from a careful selection of the best grapes. The particular type of soil resulting from granite disintegration, together with an optimal microclimate, have contributed to making Maìa, a Vermentino that, as its name evokes, ‘tastes of Gallura’.
Straw yellow in colour. yellow-fleshed fruit and white flowers. harmonious and delicate.
Fresh and savoury, with a good balance of flavour and a bitter almond finish typical of the variety.
