About this wine
Sciala is the estate's most awarded wine, a 100% Vermentino di Gallura Superiore DOCG sourced from Surrau's own granite-soil vineyards in Arzachena. Straw yellow with greenish reflections, it opens with an intense bouquet of sugar melon, orange blossom, jasmine, citrus, and Mediterranean scrub, layered over the granite-derived minerality typical of the estate. On the palate it is soft, long, and persistent, balancing ripe fruit with vegetal and mineral hints. Sciala has repeatedly earned Gambero Rosso's Tre Bicchieri, Italy's top wine accolade, making it a benchmark bottling within the Vermentino di Gallura Superiore category.
A step up from Branu in concentration and complexity — a great choice for those ready to explore Vermentino's more serious side.
Sommelier's Note

カンティーナ・スッラウ カンノナウ・ディ・サルデーニャ ナラク
Cantina Surrau Cannonau di Sardegna Naracu
RedCannonau (Grenache)
Naracu is Vigne Surrau's fresh, open-styled Cannonau di Sardegna, sourced from roughly 20-year-old vines rooted in sandy, weathered granite soils at about 150 meters elevation in Arzachena (Gallura). Medium ruby in color, it shows tart red-fruit aromas of cranberry, red plum, orange peel, and raspberry, with graphite and brick undertones adding a stony, dusty balance. On the palate it is tangy yet rich, medium-bodied, and well-rounded with a crisp, fresh finish — a more approachable, food-friendly counterpart to the estate's flagship Sincaru.
カンティーナ・スッラウ カンノナウ・ディ・サルデーニャ シンカル
Cantina Surrau Cannonau di Sardegna Sincaru
RedCannonau (Grenache)
Sincaru is the flagship Cannonau expression from Vigne Surrau, located in Arzachena (Gallura), northern Sardinia. The name means 'pure' in the local Gallurese dialect, reflecting the wine's authentic terroir expression. Sourced from old vines grown in decomposed granite soils, it ferments in stainless steel with daily pumping over and punching down, then rests in large untoasted Slavonian oak barrels before bottling. Ruby red with light garnet reflections, it opens with intense aromas of ripe red fruits and Mediterranean scrub (macchia), delivering a soft, warm, and full palate with polished tannins and a distinct mineral backbone. Scores 88–93 points from Wine Enthusiast across multiple vintages.

Cantina Surrau Vermentino di Gallura Branu
WhiteVermentino
Branu is arguably the most iconic wine of Vigne Surrau — a 100% Vermentino sourced from the estate's own vineyards in Arzachena, Gallura, grown on decomposed granite soils that lend a distinctive salty minerality. Fresh and crisp on the palate, it combines citrus, green apple, and white pepper with floral notes and a savory, saline finish reminiscent of Mediterranean scrub (macchia) and sea breeze. Widely regarded as a benchmark bottling for the Vermentino di Gallura DOCG category, Sardinia's only DOCG appellation.
