Sip & Savor: Wine and Cheese of Sardegna

Sardegna (Sardinia) is among one of the most beautiful and untouched territories in Europe. Its distance from the continent, along with a strong pastoral tradition, has allowed this island region to develop a distinctive culture that is reflected also in its cuisine. Sardgena is the second largest island in the Mediterranean, after Sicily, and boasts many peculiar wines and cheeses. The most well-respected and traditional cheeses are produced from a native Sardinian sheep breed whose origins stretch back thousands of years. In addition to Sardegna’s pecorino cheeses, the wines produced in this region also exude a unique and distinctive quality. Cannonau and Vermentino are just two examples of indigenous grape varieties that are attracting wine enthusiasts to this remote Italian region.
