Antonella Corda Nuragus di Cagliari 2025

Antonella Corda Nuragus di Cagliari 2025 is a vibrant yet refined white wine from Sardinia, made from the indigenous Nuragus grape. Deeply rooted in the island’s winemaking tradition, this variety reflects the constant interplay of sun, wind, and sea that shapes its distinctive character.

In the glass, the wine appears pale straw-yellow with subtle green highlights, a visual cue to its fresh and lively profile. The nose is bright and pure, opening with aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and white flowers. As it develops, more delicate nuances emerge, including Mediterranean herbs and a faint saline note reminiscent of coastal breezes around Cagliari.

On the palate, this Nuragus is crisp and refreshing, with a light to medium body focused on elegance and drinkability. The acidity is lively yet well-balanced, giving the wine energy without sharpness. The fruit profile is restrained and leaning toward white and green fruit, with pear, apple, and a touch of lemon leading the expression.

A defining feature of this wine is its mineral backbone, clearly influenced by Sardinia’s limestone soils and maritime climate. This minerality adds tension and a subtle saline edge that lingers through the mid-palate and finish, enhancing its sense of place.

The finish is dry, clean, and elegant, with a gentle bitterness typical of the Nuragus grape, contributing structure and length. The 2025 vintage emphasizes purity and freshness, offering a modern, precise interpretation of a traditional Sardinian variety.

Antonella Corda Nuragus di Cagliari 2025 is not a bold or exuberant wine, but one that impresses through clarity, restraint, and balance. It is a delicate and honest expression of Sardinia, where sea, sun, and stone come together in a seamless, graceful harmony.
