Cantina Sannai - Olbia (SS)

Established in June 2015 by Antonio Castelli, a Bitti native and former professional football player in Italy, our company has deep roots in cultivating and producing Artisanal Mirto Liquor from Sardinia. We pride ourselves on using only the finest raw materials to deliver an authentic product.

Our core belief lies in harmonizing eco-sustainability, environmental biodiversity, ethical values, and corporate philosophy. This fusion defines not only our products but also shapes our identity.

  • Indulging in our Mirto offers a genuine taste of Sardinia, capturing its hidden essence. By strategically distributing niche products, we aim to spread awareness and appreciation for authentic Made in Italy goods worldwide.

Company: Nestled amidst the Mediterranean scrubland with stunning views of Porto Rotondo and the enchanting beaches of Costa Smeralda, Sannai Estate was born. Encompassing approximately 2 hectares, it is home to flourishing Mirtus Communis plants thriving under the sun’s warmth and sea breeze.

  • In 1985, a devastating fire ravaged the original scrubland. Upon acquiring the land in 2009, we manually cleared it without machinery. Slowly reintroducing selected Mirtus Communis plants led to lush shrubs bearing high-quality berries today.

The estate now features not just the myrtle grove but also a production facility, infusion storage rooms, and tasting spaces.

Giorgio Sanna: Growing up under the influence of my maternal grandparents left a lasting impact. My grandfather Giorgio Sanna’s resilience as a WWII soldier and prisoner of war inspired me. His values of family unity amid adversity guide my product philosophy – Mirto Sannai; a liqueur echoing scents and flavors from captivating Sardinian tales.

  • Inspired by his reverence for nature, I crafted Mirto Sannai as a tribute to his legacy and the mystique of Sardinia.

Logo: Just as nature boasts diverse flowers unique in their traits, we celebrate individuality within our company. Embracing diversity enriches us all – reflecting through our products like Mirto Sannai that blend tradition with modern innovation.

  • The name ‘Sannai’ honors my grandfather while symbolizing our journey towards excellence. The logo represents an aged Giorgio against Sardegna’s silhouette signifying heritage merging with contemporary creations.

Philosophy: At our core, we are farmers before anything else. Our Mirto Liqueur relies on top-quality berries sourced solely from meticulously tended myrtle groves within their natural habitat.

  • We advocate for minimal intervention in cultivation processes; avoiding anti-parasitic treatments ensures our crops thrive naturally. Prioritizing seasonal variations over artificial methods reflects our commitment to plant welfare above all else.

Beyond mere sales numbers lies our true joy – sharing the passion for nurturing myrtles that define the quality of our liquor through their bountiful harvests.
