Sardinian hydration

Here are some of the most renowned wines:

  • Cannonau, red wine, good with typical meat dishes;
  • Carignano, red or rosé, excellent with starters, roast meat, and aged cheese;
  • Semidano, white table wine, ideal with first courses, fish soups, lean meat soups; it's also a Brut sparkling wine;
  • Nuragus, white wine, excellent with fish dishes;
  • Vernaccia, classic aperitif wine, also good with almond-paste sweets;
  • Malvasia, dessert wine, probably imported during the Byzantine period; a sparkling wine is produced with the same grapes;
  • Vini Novelli (New Wines), obtained by fermentation of must inside airtight containers, not in the open air as usual; you can taste these wines in early November.

  • Tonino hydrates with the Vernaccia.

    Farrar to join Hesjedal and Spiers in Maui....

    Check out the latest Velo News on our Man Dave Spiers.....


    “I’ve been hearing from the guys over the last few years how amazing it is over there,” Farrar said. “I see it as a good opportunity to get in some good weather and some solid time riding in the sun and hills. We all get along well and race together a lot, we’re good friends. It will be a good group of guys to train with, and Ryder has the area dialed for all the different types of rides we want to do.”

    Other athletes expected to make cameo appearances during the weeklong camp include top American triathlete Chris Lieto, Canadian Olympic mountain biker Seamus McGrath, Victoria's Dave Spiers of Tripleshot-Spinnakers, and Hawaiian surf legend Laird Hamilton, who has a home in Maui and has trained with Hesjedal in the past.
