Silvio Carta "Serenata" Cannonau di Sardegna

Sardinia’s sun, sea, and soul in a single glass.
From the rugged hills and wind-swept landscapes of Sardinia comes “Serenata”, a Cannonau that embodies the island’s raw elegance and timeless character. Crafted by Silvio Carta, a master of Sardinian terroir, this wine is a celebration of heritage, patience, and precision. Each grape tells a story of limestone soils, maritime breezes, and sun-drenched days, captured in a red that is both powerful and graceful.

Cannonau — Sardinia’s noble and ancient variety — finds its finest expression here. Hand-harvested from meticulously tended vineyards, the grapes undergo gentle maceration to extract depth without losing finesse. Careful ageing in fine oak barrels lends structure and subtle spice, allowing the natural fruit, minerality, and warmth of the island to shine through.

In the glass, Serenata glows a deep ruby with garnet reflections. The nose unfolds with ripe wild cherries, plum, Mediterranean herbs, and hints of licorice and dried flowers. On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet refined, with silky tannins, vibrant dark fruit, and a mineral undertone that gives the finish a lingering, elegant persistence. It’s a wine that commands attention without ever shouting — a red for connoisseurs who value balance, complexity, and character.

For wine lovers in Ireland, this is more than a Sardinian red — it’s a taste of the Mediterranean’s warmth and sophistication, perfectly suited to both relaxed dinners and special occasions.

Why we love it:
Serenata is Sardinia at its finest: expressive, structured, and refined. Its balance of bold fruit, elegant tannins, and subtle spice makes it a wine of depth and distinction — one you savor slowly, appreciating every layer.
