‘I crossed the vineyard. The vines were in flower; all was vibrant with fireflies. Oh we can only expressourselves through music! What sweetness, what heartache in that moment, when I stopped in the midstof the rows of vines, and suddenly found myself caughtas if within a glowing net.’

G. Deledda (from “The stolen child”)

Sardinia and wine, an enduring bond, with origins in theNuraghic era, if not earlier. Recent studies of findings inNuraghic archeological sites suggest the fascinating idea

that wine-making activity was already underway as long ago asthat. Other studies define the important role of Sardinia in thedomestication of wild grapevines, aided by peoples whobrought their own oenological skills to the island. The grapevine is an integral feature of the Sardinian landscape.It is to be found almost everywhere, from the fertile plains nearthe sea to the hills, as well as in interior zones, wherewinemaking is often magically linked to age-old traditions.Viticulture has long occupied an important role in the Sardinianagricultural economy. The unique oenological and territorialcharacteristics of this region allow for an intensive viticulture,characterised by a high quality oenological production whichreaches a high standard of excellence in favoured zones.Used at first as a barter commodity, wine later became acommercial product in its own right. Over time, it developed intoa messenger of culture and civility for so many peoples, and onour island, the ancient link between man and wine has lasted foruncountable centuries. It is almost certain that the Vitis Vinifera,like the olive, is an indigenous Sardinian wild plant, so much sothat peoples in arrival carried neither stock not branches, butthe art of grafting, as well as techniques for the production andconservation of wine. Ever since its most remote origins,Sardinia has profited from what was brought by successions offoreign populations during their various periods of domination of

the island. Semitic,Cretian andPhoenician peoplescreated their variousbases along thecoasts; among which,Tharros and Kalaris,which becameimportant andprosperous colonies.Punic, Roman andByzantine peoplescame next.The Phoenicians,

great viticulturalists, as well as able navigators, spread theculture of winemaking around the zones bordering on theircolonies, whilst they were seeking to extend their commerce inthe central-west Mediterranean. The Punics found awinemaking culture already in place: a culture which was tobecome dominant in the colonies of Kalaris, Tharros, Cornus,Nora and Olbia, thanks to their ever-developing relationship withthe Sardinians.The violent expulsion of the Punics by the Romans marked thestart of a long period of Roman domination for Sardinia. Manyarchaeological remains relating to viticulture bear testimony towinemaking activities of the era. Findings in the importantArrubiu nuraghi complex at Orroli in the province of Cagliariwhere actual oenological workshops dating from the 2nd and 4thcenturies A.D. have been discovered. Baths for grape-pressing,bases of wine presses and various types of vessels were alsofound. Perhaps the most surprising find is grape seeds datingfrom the same period, found below the same nuraghe. Suchvine species are still to be found today. Many and varied are the traces of Roman civilisation to be foundon the island: necropolis and tombs bear witness to oenologicalactivities in the form of decorations and furnishings whichclearly refer to wine-making, as well as agronomic terms inLatin, and production techniques still in use today. The Roman era came to an end around the middle of the5th century with the invasion of the Vandals; thedestruction and abandonment of the culturewhich accompanied the period brought aboutthe resumption of intensive agrarian activityby the Byzantines. One result of this wasthe introduction of new vines, over andabove the well organised norm of theperiod. In particular, it was theBasilican monks, of Greek ritual, whocontributed to the renaissance ofvine culture through the planting ofnew vines around their monasteries.Sardinia was one of the sevenByzantine provinces, the“Exarchate of Africa”, and whenArab peoples, converted to

Islam, invaded territories facing theMediterranean in the 7th century, Sardiniawas only marginally involved, passingrelatively unharmed through the periodduring which Moslem rulings forbade theconsumption of wine. Sardinianwinemaking carried on uninterrupted.Following the decline of the ByzantineEmpire, the four Giudicati of Cagliari,Arborea, Torres and Gallura were born.During the Giudicati period, Sardinia setabout consolidating and increasing itswine production, protecting vinecultivation and commerce by means oftruly exemplary legislation. Suchregulations were codified in the CodiceRurale di Mariano IV d’Arborea, dating backto 1353, and formed part of the Carta deLogu, issued by Eleonora d’Arborea at theend of the 1300’s. Severe sanctions,generally pecuniary, but going as far as thecutting off of the left hand, for those whouprooted or set fire to the vines of others,were imposed.

In the Codice degli Statuti del Libero Comunedi Sassari, dating from the late 1200’s, article

128 applied to over-production of vines in the north ofthe island, introducing even so long ago, the current system

governing the planting of new vines, “De non pastinare vingna:Nobody, man nor woman may plant nor have planted vines inthe territory of Sassari or nearby, except if someone has a vineand wants to uproot it from the land, he/she can only replacethe number uprooted, and if someone has fallow-land, he canplant tricla or similar vines, not to be transformed into wine onhis/her land”. Between the 13th and 18th centuries, new cultivars wereintroduced to the island under Aragonese and Spanishdomination. Such types, both of black and white types, arestill, for the most part, under cultivation.The introduction of the new system of growing vines knownas sa catalanisca, which means without support, as opposed

to the sa sardisca, where vines were supported is alsoattributed by some to this period. Other historians maintainthat this system was already in use in Sardinia during theRoman era, from which use the term alberello latino derives,and is still in use. At the end of the 19th century, that is to saybefore phylloxera devastated vine plantations, Sardinia hadabout 80,000 hectares dedicated to specialised vine growing. After replantation of new vines grafted onto Americanrootstocks, viticulture took off again and expanded to such apoint that around 75,000 hectares were occupied. Alongsidethis growth of winemaking, programmed with incentives bythe Regione Sardegna, cooperatives for the processing ofgrapes in modern plants took place. The winemaking structure, well set up and in constantdevelopment, is flanked by cooperative and private infrastructures,represented by small and medium businesses, using moderntechnology at the avantgarde of organisation andcommercialisation of wine production.The application of “state of the art” technology has finallyallowed Sardinia to compete in the marketing of quality wineswith the greatest European producers. On this generous,hospitable island, the climate, the soil and the species of vinesknowledgeably nurtured by mankind have given birth to winesof high quality, some vigorous and robust, others elegant andaristocratic, but always conceived in harmony betweenproduction and environment. The equilibrium and singular tastesensations of Sardinian wines remind us of the richly-colouredfabrics of the island’straditional costumes, anexpression of ancientSardinian culture.Imagination runsunbounded in thisextraordinary land,perfumed with theMediterranean scrub,lashed by the Mistral andcradled by sea breezes.

Sardinia is undoubtedly the chosen land for this species, which together withCannonau, represents the most typical expression of regional winemaking.Coming to Sardinia through Corsica at the end of the 1800’s, from thegranite terrain of Gallura, where it found its perfect habitat, it spreadthroughout the island, where it currently occupies about 2,800 hectares. TheVermentino cultivated in Sardinia is a wine of great personality, which bearsno comparison to other Italian or foreign wines, even if they bear the samename. Its presence throughout the island, characterised by varyingenvironments of cultivation, allows the wine to express the variouscharacters of its zones of origin, whilst maintaining a unifying, commoncharacteristic of quality. Demand for this wine has shown constant andconsistent growth. Among the three most important types, Vermentino hasshown constant growth in demand, never suffering from seriousfluctuations. Vermentino vines are currently used for the production ofDOCG Vermentino di Gallura, and the DOC Vermentino di Sardegna, as wellas Alghero Vermentino frizzante (sparkling). The Vermentino di Gallura has apale straw colour, with shades of luminous gold, a strong and refinedperfume of mature fruit, broom and aromatic herbs. The taste is dense, softwith dry overtones, and a warm “mineral” aftertaste.

Among the white-grape vines of Sardinia, Nuragus is still the mostwidely cultivated, even though it has shown a gradual territorialconcentration of late. Growing is concentrated in the provinces ofCagliari and Oristano, where it occupies some 3,300 hectares. Theorigins, lost in time, place it among the oldest vines introduced toSardinia, probably being brought by Phoenician mariners, who built theancient city of Nora, the remains of which can still be seen in the south-westcoastal zone of Cagliari. The considerable diffusion of this vine over theyears may be due to its rusticity, adaptability to any type of terrain and,above all, to its abundant productivity.A wine of medium alcohol content and of a delicate straw colour, it isderived from Nuragus grapes. The wine is sharp-tasting, andpleasantly fresh to the palate. It often has verdant overtones, and hintsof white flowers, green apples and delicate citrus flavours. The winewas granted DOC Nuragus di Cagliari status in 1975.

A white-grape species of uncertain origins, common all over the islandsince ancient times. The end of the 19th century witnessed asubstantial reduction in vineyards following the phylloxera blight, afterwhich more productive, and resistant species, such as Nuragus, cameto be preferred when re-planting became due. Semidano is currently grown only in a small area of the Campidano ofOristano, on medium clay and chalky soil, on hillsides. A very fine wineis obtained from the species, characterised by a luminous goldenstraw colour, floral scents, with accents of peach and apricot. Thetaste is pleasantly soft, with suggestions of fruit and aromatic herbs. The DOC title of Sardegna Semidano, with the sub-denomination ofMogoro was conferred in 1995.

History relates that this vine landed in Spain in the wake of theCarthaginians and Phoenicians, who came from the Aegean seabasin, considered to be the place of origin of the great Malvasia family, afamily in which Torbato is surely to be numbered. Subsequent erassaw the vine spread to areas around the Mediterranean basin,including Sardinia, where it was introduced during the period ofSpanish dominion. Cultivation of the vine increased considerablyduring the 300-year period of Catalan occupation of the island. Mostof the wine was exported to the court of the King of Aragon, where itwas particularly appreciated.Nowadays, it is grown in a small, 900 hectare zone of Alghero, an areabearing clear signs of its Catalan past. Torbato is purely produced toobtain the eponymous wine, as well as a sparkling variety, bothbearing the title of DOC Alghero.The wine is of a medium straw colour, with a taste which recallsminerals, white flowers and fruit. It is both lively and refreshing.

This red wine perhaps brings to mind, more than any other, memoriesof Sardinia, its ancient traditions and welcoming hospitality. The type iscultivated throughout the island, the interior being the most favouredzone. Its origins are still unclear, but recent studies, still underway,suggest that winemaking was carried out as long ago as the Nuraghicperiod; therefore, probably Cannonau was already cultivated inSardinia at the time of Spanish dominion, when researchershistorically date back the introduction of this vine in the island. Cannonau accounts for 30% of the land dedicated to vine productionin Sardinia, covering 7,500 hectares, 70% concentrated in theprovince of Nuoro. Wine yield per hectare has never been high, andreaches on the average 80 quintals. Cannonau is characterised by aspecial fineness of taste and perfume which varies from zone to zone:it has a good structure and an aftertaste recalling -in variousexpressions- blossoms or fresh forest berries, with riper notes of fruitjam and hints of warm spices in the Reserve and fortified wines.Its DOC denomination is Cannonau di Sardegna.

Production of this characteristic wine is almost totally concentrated inthe Sulcis, a zone between the final mountain range of south-westernSardinia and the sea. It was probably the Phoenicians, founders ofancient Sulci on the isle of Sant’Antioco, who introduced the vine toSardinia. The area under cultivation is only around 1,700 hectares, butdespite this, Carignano may be considered one of the most importantand prestigious of all Sardinian wines. The capability of the vine to resistsalt sea-borne winds has allowed cultivation on the sandy soil of Sulcis,in a hot, sunny zone, where the low yield per vine confers a vigour andrichness of perfume to the wine. A deep red wine results from thisbalance between climate and soil, with warm perfumes of plums andcherries, sweet spices, chocolate, liquorice and black pepper. Thetaste is aristocratic and well-balanced, suggesting soft, elegant tanninovertones. Recognised as DOC in 1977, it is marketed as DOCCarignano del Sulcis.

The name Bovale refers to two species of vine, Bovale Sardo andBovale di Spagna; the latter, which came to the island from Spainaround 1300, is also known as Bovale Grande.Recent research confirms a substantial difference between the twospecies. Bovale Sardo, known locally and synonymously as Muristellu,of known origins, is to be found in various zones of the island, but findsits favoured terrain in the sunny Mandrolisai zone, in the province ofNuoro, as well as Terralba, in the Oristano area.The wine is rich in extract, in alcohol and polyphenolic complexity,particularly where derived from vines grown using the alberello sardotechnique, and is harvested late in the season. Along with Monica and Cannonau, it has the DOC title of Mandrolisai;Bovale Grande being denominated DOC Campidano di Terralba orTerralba.

This ancient species finds its chosen environment in a small zone ofnorth-west Sassari. It has a preference for chalky, fine clay soil, andsunshine, where it is cultivated today, as ever, using the alberello sardosystem or a low vertical shoot positioning. It becomes rich in sugarsand polyphenolic compounds, which give structure and complexity tothe wine. Many experts feel that it has some similarity to Bovale Sardowine. The wine itself is known as DOC Alghero Cagnulari, brilliant ruby-red,with intense and elegant wild red fruits and jam flavours, full ofbalsamic notes. It is smooth and delicate on the palate.

This species, one of the longest-standing in Sardinia, is to be found allover the island, in varying concentrations, and covers some 3,000hectares.The most widely-accepted hypothesis regarding its origins places theintroduction of the vine to the island around the 11th century, by theCamaldulian monks, from whom its well-known name is derived.Another theory attributes its introduction to the period of Spanishdominion, and in fact the vine is known in some zones as Monica diSpagna, or Uva Mora (Moorish grape). This species gives of its best infairly deep, chalky soil, in hilly zones, well exposed to the sun. Wines made exclusively from the Monica grape retain the freshperfume of berries and cherries, red fruit jam and are delicately spicy;often accompanied by an undertone of sweet almond. The taste iswarm and pleasantly soft.Two typologies of DOC wine are obtained from the Monica species:Monica di Sardegna and Monica di Cagliari, the latter being currentlyquite rare. Along with Bovale and Cannonau, it is part of the DOCMandrolisai denomination.

An ancient species, already present at the time of the Romans, whocalled it vitis apiana, due to its always being surrounded by bees,attracted by the sweetness of its grape. It can be found throughoutMediterranean wine-growing territories. In Sardinia, it is chiefly present inthe chalky, sunny zones of lower Campidano and Romangia, as well asthe granite area of Gallura. The three areas give three characteristic typologies of Moscato, whichhave the following DOC nomenclature: Moscato di Cagliari, Moscato diSorso-Sennori and Moscato di Sardegna spumante, sub-typed asTempio or Gallura. The sparkling variety apart, we may consider Sorso-Sennori as the bestexample of this marvellous wine, traditionally grown with the alberellosystem, of low yield per hectare. Exposure to the sun on dry chalky soilgives great depth to the taste of this rich, aromatic wine. Its warm coloursuggests amber, the perfume is that of its fruit of origin, enriched withsuggestions of honey, almond, figs, apricot jam and mosto cotto (cookedmust). Exquisitely sweet, warm and soft to the palate.

This highly-regarded fine wine has been cultivated in Sardinia for a verylong time. Nowadays, cultivation is concentrated in the sunny, chalkyzones around the Cagliari coastal hinterland. Its dialect name, Nascu isderived from Muscus, which means musk, aptly describing theunmistakable perfume to be found particularly in matured examples.Already known in Roman times, the species was to be found all overthe island until the middle of the last century, to such an extent that itwas judged as one of the most prestigious wines of Sardinia at theVienna Universal Exhibition of 1873. Chiefly cultivated using the classic alberello latino system, Nasco iscurrently enjoying a well-deserved revival, even though production islimited, and appreciated by a small, discerning public. The colour is anelegant, warm topaz, the texture is dense, the perfume isextraordinarily intense and reminds us of honey, mature fruit, dates,figs, candied orange, with a finish of sunny, musky, Mediterraneanscents. It is dense, sweet and like velvet to the palate. DOC recognition since 1972.

A refined, delicate dessert and meditative wine considered a symbol ofhospitality and friendship, reserved for special occasions and specialpeople. The name of the wine comes from the Greek port of Monemvasiain the Peloponnese, where, around 1400, a flourishing wine trade withvarious Mediterranean localities began. Vine species were also spreadthrough this commerce, and this is why Malvasia can be found underwidespread cultivation in Italy, but with very varied ampelographiccharacteristics.According to some researchers, the Malvasia species was alreadypresent in Sardinia in the Byzantine era, in the Planargia hills and aroundthe Campidano di Cagliari. The probability of Greek origin is confirmed bythe dialect expression Alvarega, which means White Greek. Two differentDOC wines derive from this renowned vine species, Malvasia di Bosa andMalvasia di Cagliari. They are very different from both an organoleptic andtaste point of view, chiefly due to varying climatic conditions andcultivation techniques. The defining characteristic of Malvasia di Bosaproduction is a maturation in barrels, which are not completely filled, andthe important presence of flor yeasts. This lends the wine a warm andluminous golden tonality, as well as an intense and refined taste of maturefruit, honey and roasted almonds. To the palate, it presents a prolonged,velvet-like presence of great balance and harmony. Malvasia di Cagliari isnot matured in barrels, apart from the Riserva typology, and ischaracterised by a lighter golden colour, as well as fresher taste given byfine and elegant flower and fruit notes.

An ancient and noble species, found in Sardinia since the times of thePhoenicians, who introduced it along the Oristano coast, the Sinispeninsula and the ancient staging port of Tharros.Cultivation has always been exclusively limited to the Province ofOristano, where it is chiefly grown using the alberello latino method. Itflourishes in the low terrain of the Tirso and Rio Mannu flood-lands. Thename of the vine, held to have been conferred by the Romans, derivesfrom vernacula, which means a grape of the zone. This would explain thepresence of the Vernacce species in other wine-producing zones of Italy,although they have nothing in common with Sardinian Vernaccia.This superb wine, the pride of Sardinian oenology, owes its uniquecharacteristics to an oxidative maturation, of at least 3-4 years in barrelswhich are not completely filled. The presence of oxygen encourages therise of yeast to the top of the must, forming characteristic flor film, whichcontributes to the special aroma, known in the ancient vernacular asMurrai. This particular refinement happens even today in the traditionalwineries (cantine di Oristano) made of straw and mud with a typicalterracotta roof. As long ago as the 19th century, Cettolini wrote ofVernaccia, “… It must be judged by the senses… its aroma is worthy; thedelicacy of its completeness conquers us- that curious taste of bitter fruit,so gracious, so seductive, of which we never tire. Instead, we submit”.This poetic description is well-suited to Vernaccia, a dry wine with aunique personality revealed to us through all its sensory expressions,including the warm amber shades of its colour, its complex, ethereal tastesensations of Madera, dried fruit, almond flowers and bitter honey whichlinger on the palate with extraordinary tenacity. Apart from DOC Vernacciadi Oristano, the first Denomination recognised in Sardinia in 1971, a youngwhite wine known commercially as IGT Valle del Tirso is produced.

A prestige vine species, capable of producing elegant and refineddessert wines. Introduced to the Campidano di Cagliari during theperiod of Spanish domination, it is currently grown in very small areas,mostly situated in the south of the island. DOC status of ‘Girò diCagliari’ was granted in 1972. Production of this delicious sweet redwine lived through a period of great fame in the past, being recognisedand receiving awards in various national and international festivals. It isone of the few Italian Liquoroso wines which can be comparedfavourably with the well-known Iberian Porto and Madera. It has anintense deep red colour, with brilliant orange hues, and an elegantperfume of cherry jam, caramel and quince. It is consistent and velvet-liketo the mouth, well-balanced for sweetness and warm seduction.
