The Serie A champions went 1-0 down after Arturo Vidal gave away a penalty to gift Cagliari the lead.
The Chilean then missed a penalty of his own but the Bianconeri responded with three goals in the last 15 minutes to complete a thrilling fightback.
And Conte hailed his players after what was a sweet victory for the Old Lady.
"Juventus responded very well," he told reporters. "In the first half Gigi Buffon made one save and they had a penalty but that was all.
"Everyone puts in the performance of their lives against us and are eager to prove a point, as shown by the fact at the end all the Cagliari players had cramp.
"[Arturo] Vidal didn't perform to his usual standards in the first half, but fought back after the break despite the missed penalty. He is someone I will always bring with me if going into war.
"My scream at the goal? That summed up everything that took us to this point. I above all must thank the lads. This was not easy, but a great show of our strength and maturity."
