Cantina Giuseppe Sedilesu is a family-run winery founded by Giuseppe and Grazia, and today it is managed by their three children and their families. The winery was established 40 years ago with the purchase of their first hectare of vineyard in Mamoiada, Sardinia. Initially, the family produced and sold bulk wine to nearby villages. In 2000, when the children took over the business, they decided to bottle and label their Cannonau, curious to see if the same flavors and aromas they had grown up with would be appreciated by the broader wine market. The decision proved successful, and over the next decade, the family doubled its wine production and expanded their cellar facilities. Today, they are active members of the local wine community, participating in initiatives like the Mamoiada Winemakers Association (Mamojà) and the Consorzio di Tutela del DOC Cannonau di Sardegna, a cooperative aimed at protecting the DOC Cannonau brand.
