Estru

At the foot of the hills of Luogosanto, the vineyards for Èstru benefit from maritime breezes and well-drained soils. The Carignano grape, planted in these granite-rich environments, yields concentrated fruit with character. Siddùra applies selective harvest and minimal-intervention vinification to produce this wine, bottled early to maintain freshness and fruit purity.

Bright ruby red with purple reflections; clear and luminous in the glass.

The nose opens with fresh blackberry, blueberry and subtle white pepper sparks, followed by a hint of liquorice. On the palate, the wine is juicy and fresh-savoured, offering ripe red and black fruits, lively acidity, and a smooth texture. A fine mineral streak underpins the finish, rounded by soft tannins and a lingering warm spice note.

Pairing: Grilled red meats, game, rustic pasta ragùs, or mature cheeses.

In the timeless hills of Gallura, a wild and untouched region in northeastern Sardinia, lies Siddùra – one of Italy’s most renowned boutique wineries. Just a few steps from the charming village of Luogosanto, Siddùra was born from a vision: to create exceptional wines that embody the spirit of Sardinia, its ancient traditions, and its breathtaking terroir.

A story of passion and origin

Founded by Nathan Gottesdiener, a visionary entrepreneur with a deep love for Sardinia, and Massimo Ruggero, an expert in viticulture and oenology, Siddùra is more than just a winery – it is a tribute to the land and its people. The two founders recognized the unique potential of Gallura’s granitic soils and Mediterranean climate and set out to create wines that not only compete with Italy’s finest but also redefine Sardinia’s wine tradition on the world stage.

From the very beginning, Siddùra’s mission has been to unite tradition with innovation. Old vines of Cannonau and Vermentino were revived, modern cellar technology was introduced – always with the focus on preserving the authenticity of the region. The result is a collection of wines that are both elegant and powerful, capturing the essence of Sardinia in every glass.

Nomen est omen – The name is the sign

At Siddùra, every wine tells a story – not only through its taste, but already through its name. Guided by the Latin maxim nomen est omen – “the name is the sign” – each wine carries a name that reflects its personality and soul. From Spèra (“hope”) to Erema (“solitude”) to Bàcco (the Roman god of wine) and Nudo (“naked,” symbolizing purity and originality) – Siddùra’s wines are expressions of identity and philosophy.

All Siddùra wines also share the same elegant label – a symbol of unity, quality, and brand integrity. The minimalist design puts the wines themselves at the forefront and creates a coherent, distinctive collection recognized worldwide.

Globally awarded excellence

Siddùra’s dedication to quality, sustainability, and craftsmanship has made the winery one of the most decorated in Italy. With more than 250 international awards, including honors from Decanter, Mundus Vini, the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, and the Berliner Wein Trophy, Siddùra stands for prestige and top-level performance.

The estate’s top wines regularly receive the highest ratings and are sought after by wine lovers around the world. They showcase the richness of Sardinia’s terroir and the mastery behind every bottle. Siddùra is not just a producer but an ambassador of Sardinian winemaking.

Luogosanto: Città del Vino 2024

Thanks to Siddùra’s commitment and its successful role in placing Luogosanto on Italy’s wine map, the village was named “Città del Vino” (Wine City) in 2024 – a prestigious award for municipalities that have made outstanding contributions to Italy’s wine culture. This recognition highlights Siddùra’s key role in revitalizing local traditions, promoting sustainable wine tourism, and strengthening the cultural heritage of the Gallura region.
