Spargi Island

Third largest in the La Maddalena archipelago, Spargi is an island of low scrubland, beaches alternating white sand and pink rocks, coves where silence is broken only by wind and seagulls. Cala Corsara is one of its most famous stretches, a crescent of fine sand in a bay of crystal-clear water. The Spargi Island basket by S'Isula tells this restrained richness: eleven specialties that make up an elegant gift, perfect for tables that want to stand out.

The woven rectangular basket 46×36×16 cm has a rustic-chic charm that makes it perfect both under the tree and as a decorative element on the buffet table. Inside, eleven carefully selected pieces from the best of Sardinian production. The artisan panettone 500 g from Forneria di Pula opens the sweet chapter, accompanied by mixed flavor nougat bites covered in chocolate 150 g from Torronificio Tore di Tonara, aranzada from Orgosolo 25 g and nougat from Orgosolo 25 g by Dulhes – a true little anthology of Barbagia confectionery.

The savory-convivial chapter is equally well-curated: the vacuum-packed salami 200 g from Salumificio Monte Linas di Villacidro pairs with tantalizing peppers in oil 180 g by Ayò di Villacidro, a sweet-spicy preserve that works perfectly on bruschetta and charcuterie boards. The pane guttiau with whole sea salt 80 g by Sard'Amori di Sanluri brings to the table the carasau flatbread seasoned with olive oil and salt, crispy and fragrant. The boccoli pasta 500 g from Pastificio Brundu di Torralba offers a versatile shape for hearty sauces.

For the holiday toast, the Pinot Chardonnay Brut Sparkling Wine 75 cl from Cantina Mancini di Olbia: a Charmat method with fine perlage and citrus freshness, perfect for aperitifs, midnight toasts and pairing with cured meats and fish. Don't miss the Sardinian cloth 40×65 cm with the Pavoncelle design, which once removed from the basket becomes a permanent decorative element.

This basket is designed for those who want to give a beautiful gift without seeming over the top. It's ideal for gift exchanges between in-laws, for the office manager who appreciates thoughtfulness, for the long-time client who deserves a carefully chosen gift. The composition perfectly balances sweet, savory, convivial and liquid, offering sharing opportunities for at least three or four moments during the Christmas holidays. A basket that, like Spargi, doesn't impose itself but makes itself desired. Sardinian elegance, bubbles included.
