The story
Su’entu, a family-run winery in Sardinia’s Marmilla sub-region, was built on the conviction of founder Salvatore Pilloni and is now led by his daughters, Valeria and Roberta. As Gambero Rosso notes, the name means “the wind” in Sardinian—an element considered vital for keeping the vines healthy. The winery produces wines from indigenous varieties like Bovale and Cannonau, and has become a lively events hub, drawing over 20,000 visitors a year with a philosophy rooted in openness and hospitality.
Among the bottles earning a thumbs-up from Gambero Rosso are the Su de Terra 2021 and the Su Unicu 2019, both reflecting the estate’s commitment to its land and traditions. Whether you’re exploring the rustic landscape or simply seeking a glass of something distinctly Sardinian, Su’entu offers a warm, wind-swept welcome that feels both personal and profound.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
Su'entu's Su unicu 2019, a luminous Sardinian white, is the unanimous star, praised for its profound minerality. The overall vibe is one of quiet, sophisticated reverence for the island's terroir.
“Here there is more concentration and complexity. It's a different selection from the vineyard and a different training system. I can feel more of the Marmilla in this one — the heat of the sun is all in the glass, but it's a beautiful heat, not a burn, balanced. And you can also feel the wind in the glass: it's an agile, vibrant wine that kicks. It has those 'hard parts' that give rhythm to the sip. Truly Sardinia in a glass.”

Su de Terra 2021
This is the wine I would drink every day. It has the character of Bovale and the character of Marmilla, but it's very fine, elegant, with great drinkability. It offers a crunchy red fruit, a beautiful spicy touch, and the mouthfeel is smooth, with a very delicate, soft tannin. Really beautiful, congratulations.
Su Unicu 2019
