Couldn't load pickup availability
A banker by trade, Luigi “Gino” Bardino long entertained exiting the stagnant office environment and devoting his life to wine, his true passion. After years of studying enology in his spare time, Gino finally followed his heart’s desire and in 2012 Vigne Rada saw its first harvest.
The wines of Vigne Rada are honest and straightforward—the result of a skilled artisan’s genuine passion for his craft. They deliciously reflect the coastal beauty of Alghero. Sustainable farming, which in this case means no pesticides, and intervention with any kind of sprays only when deemed necessary (it's not part of a scheduled routine)
Cagnulari is thought to be genetically identical to the Spanish Graciano grape. Which should be no surprise, as Sardegna was part of the Kingdom of Spain in the 1800s and in its proximity to the country, was subject to Spanish influence long before their official reign over the island. Dark, inky, earthy, woodsy (but no French Oak), this wine will satisfy the fuller bodied wine drinkers and expose the drinker to a savory Sardinian underbrush note- we haven't found anyone who dislikes it yet.
