Label / history
Giuseppe Sedilesu was founded by Giuseppe and Grazia Sedilesu 35 years before the source description was written. After selling its grapes to other producers for many years, the family began making wine under its own name in 2000. Production doubled over the following decade, during which a new cellar was built. The estate is now managed by the founders’ three children and their families: Antonietta and her husband Emilio, Francesco and his wife Rosa, and Salvatore and his wife Mariella. Giuseppe and Grazia have 13 grandchildren.
The winery is a member of the administrative council of the Consorzio di Tutela del DOC Cannonau di Sardegna and participates in the “La Strada del vino Cannonau” project.
