2025 Cantina Giba 6 Mura Rosato

Cantina Giba is located in the south of Sardinia, in the Sulcis region, and focuses entirely on grape varieties that have been grown here for generations. The vineyards are situated close to the sea and benefit from sun, wind, and poor soils, resulting in concentrated yet balanced wines. The 6 Mura series is the line in which the house showcases more depth and terroir. While the red variant displays power and structure, this rosato reveals the fresh and elegant side of Carignano.

Origin and terroir

The grapes for this 2024 Cantina Giba 6 Mura Rosato come from vineyards around Giba, at an altitude of 25 to 50 meters above sea level. The exposure is south to southwest, and the soils consist of sand and clay. The influence of the Mediterranean Sea plays a major role here. Warm days ensure ripe fruit, while the wind and proximity to the sea provide freshness and tension. This translates into a rosé that is not only fruity but also possesses a light minerality and a briny nuance. A maximum of 2,000 bottles of this exceptional (gastronomic) Sardinian rosé are produced, and it is barely available outside Sardinia.

Carignano as a rosé

This wine is made from 100% Carignano del Sulcis. While this grape is often known for powerful red wines, here it reveals a completely different side. In rosé form, Carignano from Sardinia offers juicy red fruit, a soft structure, and often a subtle spiciness. Thanks to the maritime influence, the wine remains lively and fresh, with a light savory undertone typical of this region.

Grapes and vinification

The harvest takes place at the end of September, ensuring the fruit is sufficiently ripe but retains freshness. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve the fruit expression. This is followed by a short maturation period of several months and a few more months of bottle aging, resulting in a clean, direct style with just a touch of extra roundness.

Color, smell and taste

In the glass, the wine has a light salmon-pink color. The aroma is open and expressive, with notes of fresh red fruit such as strawberry and raspberry, complemented by a soft spiciness. On the palate, the wine is smooth and fresh. The fruit is juicy and direct, with a light minerality and a subtle savory touch that adds extra tension. The structure is soft without becoming heavy.

The finish is fresh and easy to drink, with a light spiciness and a slight bitterness that keeps the wine beautifully balanced.

Style and character

The 6 Mura Rosato is a rosé with more character than average. Not only fruity, but also slightly spicy and mineral. This makes it suitable for more than just the terrace. The style is Mediterranean, but not heavy. It is precisely the combination of ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and a slightly salty undertone that makes this wine interesting and versatile.

Food and wine pairings

Perfect as an aperitif, but also very suitable with grilled fish, salads, light pastas, and white meat. The light spiciness and fresh texture also make it a good match for Mediterranean dishes.
