meat-based dishes of the Sardinian cuisine (to be tasted always at cellar

The best wine to go with fish and shellfish is undeniably the white
Vermentino di Gallura (to be sipped chilled), although a Nuragus di
Cagliari would also be a good choice. The range of dessert wines is wide:
in the area of Cagliari, the Muscatel and Nasco are superb, although the

accompany all Sardinian cakes, and are also ideal as aperitif always served
chilled. Finally, the aged vernaccia is a perfect wine for conversation.
