Nestled among the natural wonders of Sardinia's northeast coast, 7Pines Resort Sardinia is much more than a luxury resort: it is a place that redefines contemporary hospitality through a deep focus on sustainability, authenticity, and connection to the land. The experience offered by the resort goes beyond comfort and aesthetics: it is a true encounter with nature, local flavors, and the thoughtfulness of those who take care of every detail. In this vision, the wine list plays a fundamental role: it is not just a complement to the gastronomic offering, but a true narrative tool, capable of reflecting the philosophy of the place thanks to the sommelier's selection.

A “gastronomic” approach to selection
Behind the wine list at 7Pines lies meticulous and passionate work, a journey of research, discovery, and selection that starts from a fixed point: the desire to accompany the dishes of chef Pasquale D'Ambrosio—executive chef of the restaurant Capogiro—with high-profile labels chosen to enhance every single note of the cuisine.
The selection, carefully curated by sommelier Sergio Pusceddu, is based on a gastronomic approach rather than an oenological one: each bottle is chosen to harmonize with the dishes, to convey the soul of the Mediterranean, combining technique and instinct, roots and vision. Wine is never just an accompaniment. It is part of the guest's sensory journey, an element that interacts with the food, the light of the place, and the surrounding landscape.
Sardinia as the beating heart
Sardinia is the beating heart of the wine list, which devotes ample space to its stylistic differences, native grape varieties, and the stories of producers who work with passion and respect for the land. “Grape varieties such as Vermentino, Cannonau, Carignano, Monica, and Bovale,” says Sergio Pusceddu, "in addition to being the stars of the wine list, become tools for telling the story of an authentic Sardinia that is often little known. There is no shortage of heroic wineries, those that operate in difficult territories but with a clear and sustainable vision." Particular attention is paid to biodiversity and natural production, in full accordance with the resort's green ethics. Organic, biodynamic, and low-impact wines are chosen beyond trends because they embody shared and tangible values.
The Sardinia you don't know
The selection includes a highly sought-after section: “The Sardinia you don't know.” It is a journey through little-known, surprising labels from small producers who work with craftsmanship, away from the spotlight. This section of the wine list is designed for those who love to discover, for those who seek authentic experiences and want to approach Sardinia with new and curious eyes. It is a tribute to the land, its complexity, and its hidden beauty.
A Mediterranean journey with a cosmopolitan spirit
“Alongside Sardinia's wine heritage, the drink list naturally opens up to the entire Mediterranean basin: from mainland Italy to France, Spain, and Greece, it forms a coherent mosaic in which the wines share a common vocation for freshness, minerality, and brightness,” says the sommelier. The focus is clear: elegance, drinkability, and expression of the terroir. There is no search for “loud” labels; rather, bottles that speak softly, with depth and identity. The great international maisons find their place, but with restraint, as a stylistic reference rather than a showpiece. Also interesting is the presence of rare or unusual labels from lesser-known territories: a cultured but accessible offering, capable of intriguing both novices and experts alike.
An unconventional selection by the glass
One of the most innovative aspects of the wine list is the selection “by the glass.” Here, 7Pines dares to offer labels that are rarely served by the glass, almost challenging convention: one example above all is Pétrus, a great French cult wine, normally only available in full bottles. It is a deliberately provocative but refined choice, which reflects the resort's ambition to offer truly exclusive experiences, even in new and surprising forms. It is a way of democratizing luxury, making it a taste, a moment, an opportunity.
A tailored, human, inclusive service
The team of sommeliers at 7Pines interprets its role in a tailored manner: they listen to the customer, understand their sensibilities, and suggest the wine best suited to the moment, the company, and the landscape. Not the most expensive, but the most appropriate. Communication is always inclusive, clear, spontaneous, designed to engage, not intimidate. Those who wish to learn more are accompanied on a journey through stories, people, and territories. Those who are simply looking for a good wine will find it. With lightness and care. The team invests heavily in ongoing training to ensure authentic, passionate, and never standardized advice.
The wine list as a story of the territory and the world
The 7Pines wine list is designed as a narrative, organized by territory, style, and affinity. More than a list, it is an emotional map that accompanies guests on a journey through the sea, wind, and sun, but also through the hands that cultivate, vinify, and experiment. In a context where everything speaks of balance with nature, wine becomes a bridge between landscape and culture, between local identity and openness to the world. A silent but powerful language that translates into emotion, discovery, and memory.
