SARDINIA
Sardinia is the dream destination for many all over the world, for its landscape, the stunning beaches, and the great food. Sardinian cuisine is the expression of the culinary art developed on the island and is characterised by its pastoral heritage but also for its variety. Enriched in history through contributions and exchanges between different Mediterranean cultures. Varied and diversified, the Sardinian cuisine ranges from roasted meats, bread, and cheeses to fresh seafood. The island is better known for its food than its wines, but wine producers are exporting to the world now more than ever. Wines to look for include cannonau, the local name for grenache, and carignano. Salty, floral vermentino comes from the northeast, in an area called Gallura that gives birth to the homonymous Vermentino di Gallura. Other varieties include monica, pascale, malvasia, vernaccia and moscato.
