Sebastiano Rosa Mr. Sebastiano Rosa, wine expert for the S. Guido Estate and the Santadi's cellar, detain the majority share, that is the 40% for each one.
The S. Guido Estate is managed by the Marquis Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta, who detains the 10%, while Giacomo Tachis and Antonello Pilloni, President of Santadi, detain in equal parts the remaining 10%.
Various are the ties among these personalities. In cooperation with Mario Incisa della Rocchetta and his son, Nicolò, Tachis revealed himself as essential for the development of Sassicaia wine, the resounding "super Tuscan" produced at the S. Guido Estate since 1968.
Tachis continues to cooperate as adviser together to the wine expert Sebastiano Rosa.
During the middle of the 80's, he started to offer his advice for the Association of the Regional Sardinian Wine and then, above all, for the wine growers' association of Santadi.
That was the first time that he began to think to a joint-venture.
Mr. Rosa tells:
“Was really Giacomo Tachis to draw our attention to the Sardinia - Carignano match. He persuaded us to produce a fantastic Carignano wine. In the 2002 we bought a land, as we know very well the potentialities of this land. In fact, we have made our first grape harvest, and we agreed that it will be a great wine”.

| Origin | Santadi (CI) |
| Harvest | From 20th August for the Chardonnay, from 5th September for the Vermentino. |
| Wine making | Grapes are transferred to the winery on small boxes cooled down by dry ice to keep them at a lower temperature; then the grapes are carried straight to the press (without crashing) where in a cold and static environment we obtain a fine first-pressed juice. Subsequently, the static decantation allows to implant selected yeasts on the pure must. Prolonged fermentation at a controlled temperature (16 °C) enables to keep the wine "fining" on the fermentation-lees for approximately 40 days. The product is frequently pumped over to optimise the fermentation process. The vinification is done separately for each varietal on stainless still vats. On a second stage, the Vermentino and Chardonnay wines are blended together. |
| Aging | On small concrete vats for about 3 months to complete the maturation and a natural stabilization of Samas, which is not filtered nor clarified. |
