TONDINI ORLANDO & FIGLI SOCIETA' AGRICOLA SRL ZONA SAN LEONARDO 07023 CALANGIANUS (SS)
Today we find ourselves in the heart of Sardinia. This is where Siddaju, Isola dei Nuraghi IGT, was born. A structured red wine produced by Tenute Tondini. From 40% Carignano grapes, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Nebbiolo, this wine encapsulates the essence of a unique and fascinating territory. The grapes ripen on soils composed of pink granite, at an altitude of around 350 metres above sea level. The climate here is Mediterranean, characterised by mild winters and warm, breezy summers. The three grape varieties that make up Siddaju are harvested by hand at the right stage of ripeness. Once in the cellar, they ferment in steel for 30 days, a period that allows the maximum colour, aromas and structure to be extracted from the fruit. This is followed by ageing in French oak barrels for at least 12 months, which gives the wine complexity and elegance. Intense ruby red colour with garnet hues, the nose reveals a complex and enveloping bouquet with notes of blackberry jam and blackcurrants. Spicy hints of chocolate and tobacco are then added. In the mouth, it reveals itself to be a pleasantly smooth wine, characterised by a full and elegant body. The tannins are well structured but velvety. The persistence is long and pleasant, with a mineral finish that invites another sip.
Situated in the picturesque Alta Gallura area, Tenute Tondini is a family-run winery that has stood out for the quality and originality of its wines since its foundation in 2004. The winery is located in San Leonardo, between the municipalities of Luras and Calangianus, an area known not only for the production of excellent Vermentino, but also for being the main Sardinian cork cultivation area. The Tondini family is passionately dedicated to cultivating the 20 hectares of vineyards. Vermentino occupies most of the vineyard area, reflecting the natural vocation of the land. However, the vineyards also host other native varieties such as Moscato, Cannonau and Caricagiola, as well as international ones such as Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Dolcetto. The rows are located at altitudes between 300 and 400 metres above sea level, benefiting from excellent daily temperature ranges that enhance the aromatic characteristics of the grapes. The family's production philosophy is based on the principle that the quality of wine comes first and foremost from the vineyard. For this reason, yields per hectare are deliberately limited, guaranteeing greater concentration and intensity of flavour. In the cellar, then, the aim is to support and enhance what the land has to offer, using modern technology to preserve the aromatic heritage of the wines during fermentation. For ageing, the whites rest in steel, while the reds mature mainly in oak barrels, adding complexity and structure.
