Nieddera

Nieddera

The Nieddera grape is a rare and ancient red grape variety found in Sardinia, cultivated in very limited quantities, particularly in the provinces of Cagliari, Nuoro, and Oristano. Its name derives from the Sardinian dialect word "Nieddu", meaning black, a reference to the grape's deep, dark skin and the intense color of the wines it produces.

Although the exact origins of Nieddera remain uncertain, some believe it may be related to Carignano, another traditional Sardinian grape. Today, Nieddera is primarily used in the production of IGT Valle del Tirso wines, where it contributes depth, character, and authenticity to regional blends and varietals.

The grape itself is medium-sized, spherical, and black-skinned with a thin, slightly waxy texture. The bunches are typically medium, conical, and sometimes winged, accompanied by pentagonal, five-lobed leaves.

Nieddera yields red wines of notable body, structure, and richness, often marked by deep color, bold character, and excellent aging potential.

Currently we do not stock any wine made with Nieddera but we suggest you to try those
