Sciaccarellu is a grape variety with a wonderfully characterful personality, originally associated with the sun-drenched landscapes of Sardinia. It’s often grown where warm days and coastal breezes help the fruit ripen steadily, balancing ripe fruit flavours with a fresher, more lively finish.

In the glass, wines made from Sciaccarellu typically lean towards soft red fruit notes, with hints that can range from cherry and pomegranate to gentle spice depending on the vintage and winemaking choices. You may also find a subtle savoury edge, which makes it a great match for everyday meals as well as more relaxed gatherings.

Because Sciaccarellu can express both freshness and depth, it suits a range of styles. Many producers aim for an easy-drinking profile that works brilliantly slightly chilled, while others focus on richer texture and longer ageing potential. If you’re exploring the Grapes range and want something with a distinct sense of place, Sciaccarellu is an excellent place to start.
