ITALY SILVIO CARTA SA CRANNATZA DE SILVIU CATA 18.5%

When talking about Vernaccia, it’s impossible not to mention Silvio Carta. Since the early 1950s, this winery has focused on enhancing this wine — the oldest in this area of Sardinia — known for its alleged curative properties and mysterious origins.

The history of Vernaccia is intertwined with that of the vine and viticulture itself, and its presence on the island is believed to date back to the earliest human settlements. Its name may derive from the Latin Vernum (spring, and thus rebirth) or Vernacula (local).

A complex wine, almost alchemical, that excites and fascinates those who taste it — the perfect expression of this unique corner of the world.
