In the Glass — Tasting Notes

A saline-edged white that announces itself with orange blossom and grapefruit on the nose, then pivots to a palate where citrus and sea salt drive a long, vibrant length. The marly limestone terroir of Serdiana strips away softness and amplifies fragrant intensity, delivering the mineral snap that makes you think of salt spray and limestone. At 13.5% ABV, it has the weight to carry dinner without alcohol burn.

The Winery — Antonella Corda

Antonella inherited two of her grandfather Antonio Argiolas's prized vineyards—a viticulturalist whose name is legendary across the island. She completed her masters in viticulture and winemaking at the Edmund Mach Foundation before founding her winery in 2010, blending a century-old family legacy with modern, organically farmed methods. The 2025 vintage benefited from a mild winter and spring rain that steadied the vines through a hot summer, yielding ripe fruit with exceptional balance. Hand-picked grapes underwent gentle, oxygen-free fermentation in stainless steel, then time on fine lees to deepen aromatics while keeping SO₂ low.
