Lying on its own in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, Sardegna has its own distinct cultural identity. Unsurprisingly it has a Mediterranean climate, but influenced by mountains and the strong maestrale wind that creates a complex series of microclimates across the island. Cannonau is the flagship red variety, at its best in the province of Nuoro, but there is outstanding Vermentino here too and some interesting local peculiarities such as the ‘sherry-like’ wines of Vernaccia di Oristano.
