On the Podere Guardia Grande estate, we produce wines that express the character of the local area

The richness of the soil, the climate and the closeness to the sea all contribute to the distinctive character of our wines, with aromas of herbs, flowers and berries. We love wines that have a strong connection with the local area; wines that have a story to tell. Saldenya, Nascimento and L’Alghè are upfront, polished wines, with a distinct, refreshing minerality.

Saldenya

Vermentino di Sardegna DOC

In the Alghero dialect, Saldenya means Sardinia, and the sound recalls the froth atop the waves of the sea, driven daily by the Mistral wind, which settles on the grapes, giving them their unmistakable, almost salty flavour.

Saldenya 85

Vermentino di Sardegna DOC

Saldenya '85 è l'edizione limitata di Vermentino: sole 634 bottiglie, frutto dell'antica vigna di costa vendemmiata a mano - intrisa di storia e salsedine, recuperata e coltivata con rinnovato amore.

Alguasanta

Cannonau di Sardegna DOC Rosato

Alguasanta deriva dall’algherese "algua santa", che significa acqua santa. Con un suono suggestivo e quasi mistico, questo nome custodisce una spiritualità discreta e celebra la connessione tra terra, cultura e anima. L’aspetto mistico è rafforzato dalla figura del fenicottero rosa, simbolo di purezza e trasformazione.

Nascimento

Cannonau di Sardegna DOC

The winemaking process is also a “birth shrouded in mystery”.  When the must ferments, in the night, the children venture down into the darkness of the cellar, to listen to that song that will perhaps accompany them throughout their lifetime.

L'Alghè

Alghero Cagnulari DOC

L’Alghè is a celebration of the profound links between the local area, the precious gifts of the sea and the Catalan culture. The name "Alghé " recalls the essence of the city in the local language, highlighting the recovery of native grape varieties.

In such a genuine place, where the beauty is overwhelming, everyone is immersed in their own time, in an attempt to understand time itself, to live it, not to waste it.
