Podere Guardia Grande

Podere Guardia Grande is a modern Sardinian estate dedicated to expressing the distinctive character of the island’s northwest coast. Located in Guardia Grande, near Alghero, the vineyards overlook the Mediterranean between Capo Caccia and Porto Conte, where sea breezes, strong sunlight, and aromatic Mediterranean scrub shape the style of the wines. The estate blends respect for Sardinia’s viticultural tradition with a contemporary, quality-driven approach, focusing on indigenous varieties, sustainable farming, and minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar.

The vineyards lie at low elevations near the sea, on sandy and clay-rich soils with mineral and alluvial elements. Constant ventilation from the Mistral wind preserves acidity and freshness while enhancing aromatic purity. The combination of soil complexity and maritime influence gives the wines a clear sense of place: saline and vibrant whites, and structured yet expressive reds.

 

The estate follows environmentally conscious practices, with careful canopy management, low yields, and organic vineyard principles. In the cellar, winemaking is gentle and focused on authenticity: fermentation highlights varietal expression, extraction is subtle, and technology is used sparingly. The wines aim to be fresh, expressive, and approachable, while retaining structure and ageing potential.

 

Wines Listed by JN Wine

  • Saldenya Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 2024
    100% Vermentino from vineyards near the coast. Saldenya is a vibrant and gently aromatic white, with lifted notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, and a hint of sea spray. The palate is crisp and saline, with bright acidity and a mineral-driven finish that reflects the maritime terroir. Elegant yet approachable, it is ideal for pairing with seafood or fresh Mediterranean cuisine.

 

  • Nascimento Cannonau di Sardegna DOC 2024
    100% Cannonau, Sardinia’s signature red grape. Nascimento displays juicy red fruit, subtle rosy floral notes, and peppery spice. The palate is warm, generous, and harmonious, with soft, integrated tannins and bright freshness that balances its Mediterranean profile. It is a versatile red that can be enjoyed young and even served chilled alongside lighter fare.

  • Cagnulari L’Alghé 2024
    100% Cagnulari, an ancient local variety unique to the Alghero area. L’Alghé is medium-to-full bodied, with vivid plummy fruit, hints of spice, and subtle earthy and herbal undertones. The tannins are fine and the acidity lively, giving the wine a fresh, savoury character and a long, expressive finish. This wine showcases the potential of Sardinia’s lesser-known native grapes and the unique identity of the local soils.

 

Podere Guardia Grande stands as a modern ambassador for coastal Sardinia - wines of clarity, freshness, and maritime character, firmly rooted in native varieties and a deep respect for the land.
