The islands vines tell a story of their own, frequently with a Spanish accent. The Mediterranean stalwarts are there in the various clones of Moscato and Malvasia, but several other varieties are unique in Italy, such as Girò, Cannonau, Nuragus, Moni ca, Semidano, Torbato and Vernaccia di Oristano...
Founded in the South of Sardinia more than 80 years ago, the Company’s vineyard covers about 700 hectares that are cultivated with the most important varieties of the Sardinian tradition, including: Ca nn onau, Vermentino, Monica, Nuragus, Muscat and Nasco.
Over the past decades new varieties have also been introduced such as Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Syrah and Chardonnay grapes, that have enriched the oenological potential of the area.
The mor phol ogical characteristics of the territory, proximity to the sea, the Mediterranean climate and the natural flora, give this Company’s grapes unique and unrepeatable characteristics.
