The Siddùra experience
In the medieval village of Luogosanto , the Siddùra farm chooses, every day, to dedicate itself to the production of a masterpiece: the wines of the Siddùra winery give a sensorial experience of amazement towards the palate and savoring them is like taking away with you a gift that breathes of Sardinia .
The dedication of the Siddùra team has focused, since 2008 , on growing research, experimentation and creative passion.
Commitment and dream come together to give new life to an abandoned property by transforming it into a cellar immersed in the Mediterranean scrub, and perfecting the synergy between quality, love for the land and uniqueness.
The ambitious project is built on the meeting of favorable climatic conditions and nature: the soils of the Siddùra vineyards are a mix of granite, sand and clay, often arid, suitable for viticulture. What is born is the perfect connection between land and vineyards to be sipped in a wine with a unique flavor.
A production of 350 thousand bottles , and six hundred national and international awards that reward Siddùra for its winemaking vocation, among the latest: Best Italian Winery 2021 and Maìa as Best Vermentino in Italy 2023 .
Maìa, the most iconic wine
The best of the best Italian Vermentinos is the Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Superiore Maìa di Siddùra: already winner of the 30th edition of the Vermentino Prize, qualifying in first place in the challenge among the best Vermentinos in Italy, Maìa also won the Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso 2024 , one of the most coveted awards at a national level and which confirm the excellence of this white berry pearl.
Sardinia witnesses the exponential growth in the quality of Vermentini DOCG produced in the Gallura area which reaches its maximum towards this vine and for this reason boasts the only DOCG on the island.
The desire for innovation pushed Siddùra to perfect his already excellent wine. Here, the winery's winemaker Dino Dini chooses to insert a new element in the production of Maìa: the truncated cone vats. “ Although it is always the territory that guarantees the quality of the Vermentino produced in Siddùra and the use of truncated cone vats since fermentation has proven to be successful in enhancing the aromatic peculiarities of our grapes. The wine then remains refined in the same rooms until late spring, so as to mature its well-known bouquet ” - says Dino Dini .
Maìa is the only one to be processed in truncated cone vats, because the Vermentino grapes selected and harvested by hand are suitable, after a short pre-fermentation cold maceration, to conclude the fermentation cycle and then refinement in contact with oak in large containers of 40 and 30 hectolitres. “The wine processed in this way obtains structure and character, which makes it compatible even with long refinements in the bottle. Vermentino, with Maìa, confirms itself as a grape suitable for delivering long-lived products that improve with long-term aging on the yeasts ”, explains the Siddùra winemaker .
Siddùra wines
The philosophy of the large Siddùra group reflects on excellence as the primary objective: nothing is left to chance, attention to detail and eco-sustainability make the experience of tasting a quality wine magical.
Siddùra (in Gallura dialect saddle like the hills on which the rows of vineyards climb), collects the legacy of an ancient wine production which already in the 1950s bottled Vermentino for the thriving market of the island of La Maddalena. Forty hectares of vineyards that give life to ten fine wines that bring the purity of Sardinia to the world: the Vermentini di Gallura Spèra ( beam of light ), Maìa and Bèru , the Cannonau rosé Nudo , the Cannonau , DOC and Riserva, Èrema and Fòla ( favola ) the Carignano Bàcco and Èstru , the international Tìros and the passito Nùali .
Environmental sustainability is one of the key points of Siddùra's production, cultivation and marketing techniques. Attention to eco- sustainability can be found throughout the entire supply chain: from the vineyard, where the humidity of the earth is monitored, to the cellar, passing through electrical autonomy thanks to photovoltaic panels and control over water saving.
The path successfully followed by the Siddùra winery sees the contamination between tradition and innovation in which ancient knowledge mixes with experimentation to create a product as authentic and proud as its island.
