Sardinian winery is the only one in Italy to win three Platinos in the world’s most prestigious wine competition
A historic triumph for Siddùra and for Italian oenology. At the 22nd edition of the Decanter World Wine Awards 2025 (DWWA), the Gallura winery won three Platinum medals, standing out as the only Italian winery to achieve this extraordinary result.
The protagonists of this success are Maìa (Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Superiore), Èrema (Cannonau di Sardegna DOC) and Nùali (Passito di Moscato), all awarded 97 points out of 100. A score that places them in the world wine elite, among the only 30 Italian labels to have received Platinum recognition out of more than 18,000 competing wines from 57 countries.
Underlining the importance of this achievement is Tim Marson MW, one of the competition’s judges, “Winning a Platinum award at DWWA can literally change a producer’s life.” This year, in fact, the competing wines were evaluated blind by 248 international experts, including as many as 72 Masters of Wine and 22 Master Sommeliers, the highest number in DWWA’s history.
Siddùra 3 platini al DWWA
Behind the three Platinum medals is the clear and consistent vision of Siddùra, which has been working for years to enhance Sardinia’s indigenous grape varieties with an excellence-oriented approach, from vineyard to bottle. “These three platinum medals are the result of years of commitment and tireless work. A result that rewards our vision: to enhance the native grape varieties of Sardinia through a continuous search for quality, from the vineyard to the bottle. To bring to the podium three wines so different from each other, but united by quality, is a very strong signal.” says Mattia Piludu, general manager of Siddùra.
Siddùra’s winemaker Dino Dini gets to the heart of the quality process, “From the very beginning we have worked on all the wines in the range. Grapes are a product of nature and are the fruit of a year’s work of many people, so you have to have respect for them, only in this way can you bring out the best from every single vineyard and every single wine. Maìa exudes freshness and minerality, Èrema is a Cannonau true to its roots, while Nùali is pure aromatic expression. Platinum at DWWA is the ultimate confirmation that our approach is paying off.”
Siddùra’s success at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2025 marks a turning point for the entire national wine industry and relaunches Sardinia as a territory of wine excellence at the international level.
