Antonella Corda, the granddaughter of famed viticulturist Antonio Argiolas, founded her eponymous Sardinian winery in 2010 after completing a Masters degree in viticulture and winemaking at the prestigious Edmund Mach Foundation. Her approach blends proud, century-old family winemaking traditions with ambition and innovation.

Antonio lived to the age of 104 and left Antonella two of his prized vineyards, located around the village of Serdiana, a few kilometres north of Cagliari. Here, the mild climate, water availability and rich calcareous soils create wines with a unique character and signature freshness. Antonella follows a sustainable approach and farms her vineyards organically.

The Vermentino is grown in Antonio’s favourite vineyard, Mitza Manna. This six-hectare vineyard is planted on calcareous soils which enhance Vermentino’s natural freshness and floral bouquet. Aged for six months on its lees in stainless steel vats, the resulting wine is fragrant and intense with enticing Mediterranean herb notes. The Cannonau hails from the Mitza S‘Ollastu vineyard. Here the soil, a mix of clay, loam, sand and pebbles, ensures perfect balance in the final wine. Thanks to the light use of oak, Antonella has created an elegant wine with typical Cannonau aromas, delicate tannins and a spicy hint of white pepper on the finish.
