Intrigue is the name of this game... dry, light and exceptional minerality in a light pink dress. The sparkle of sequins with a bouquet of an earthy red perfume.

Winemaker Notes
Carignano is an ancient grape that has been native to this area for over 2,000 years. It is found in other areas of Italy and in France, but is a somewhat unsung hero- producing fantastic varietal wines for those who can tame the vigorous vine. Late budding and ripening, high yielding, and susceptible to powdery mildew and grapevine moths, Carignano seems tricky and unwieldy yet the vine flourishes in Sulcis’ particular climate. “We believe in Carignano!” he exclaims, “Unadulterated, and in its full varietal expression.”
Food & Wine Pairing
Great as an aperitif but also perfect with fish and shellfish both raw and cooked and white meats.
More Information
The Giba winery was established with the goal of creating wines that maintain a strong connection to their territory, capturing the unique features and potential of Sulcis. The "Cantina Giba" brand aims to convey its terroir through the quality of its wines, which is why single-variety vinification is employed for both Carignano and Vermentino. The vines, located in Calasetta, Sant’Antioco, Masainas, Nuxis, Giba, and Porto Pino, were selected for their suitability to this type of cultivation. In the early 1900s, phylloxera, a tiny insect that eats the roots and kills the vine, destroyed most of Europe's vineyards. As a result, 90% of vineyards were replanted with American rootstocks. Cantina Giba is one of the few European vineyards using ungrafted vines.
