Wines
of
Sardinia
‘I crossed the vineyard. The vines were in flower;
all was vibrant with fireflies. Oh we can only express
ourselves through music! What sweetness, what
heartache in that moment, when I stopped in the midst
of the rows of vines, and suddenly found myself caught
as if within a glowing net.’
G. Deledda

SARDINIA “INSULA VINI”
… In Sardinia
the grapevine
is to be found almost
everywhere, from the
fertile plains near
the sea, up to
the top of the hills...
ardinia and wine, an enduring bond, with origins in the
Nuraghic era, if not earlier. Recent studies of findings in
Nuraghic archeological sites suggest the fascinating idea
that wine-making activity was already underway as long ago as
that. Other studies define the important role of Sardinia in the
domestication of wild grapevines, aided by peoples who
brought 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 near
the sea to the hills, as well as in interior zones, where
winemaking is often magically linked to age-old traditions.
Viticulture has long occupied an important role in the Sardinian
agricultural economy. The unique oenological and territorial
characteristics of this region allow for an intensive viticulture,
characterised by a high quality oenological production which
reaches a high standard of excellence in favoured zones.
Used at first as a barter commodity, wine later became a
commercial product in its own right. Over time, it developed into
a messenger of culture and civility for so many peoples, and on
our island, the ancient link between man and wine has lasted for
uncountable centuries. It is almost certain that the Vitis Vinifera,
like the olive, is an indigenous Sardinian wild plant, so much so
that peoples in arrival carried neither stock not branches, but
the art of grafting, as well as techniques for the production and
conservation of wine. Ever since its most remote origins,
Sardinia has profited from what was brought by successions of
foreign populations during their various periods of domination of
the island. Semitic,
Cretian
and
Phoenician peoples
created their various
bases along the
coasts; among which,
Tharros and Kalaris,
which
became
important
and
prosperous colonies.
Punic, Roman and
Byzantine peoples
came next.
The
Phoenicians,
S
4
great viticulturalists, as well as able navigators, spread the
culture of winemaking around the zones bordering on their
colonies, whilst they were seeking to extend their commerce in
the central-west Mediterranean. The Punics found a
winemaking culture already in place: a culture which was to
become dominant in the colonies of Kalaris, Tharros, Cornus,
Nora and Olbia, thanks to their ever-developing relationship with
the Sardinians.
The violent expulsion of the Punics by the Romans marked the
start of a long period of Roman domination for Sardinia. Many
archaeological remains relating to viticulture bear testimony to
winemaking activities of the era. Findings in the important
Arrubiu nuraghi complex at Orroli in the province of Cagliari
where actual oenological workshops dating from the 2nd and 4th
centuries A.D. have been discovered. Baths for grape-pressing,
bases of wine presses and various types of vessels were also
found. Perhaps the most surprising find is grape seeds dating
from the same period, found below the same nuraghe. Such
vine species are still to be found today.
Many and varied are the traces of Roman civilisation to be found
on the island: necropolis and tombs bear witness to oenological
activities in the form of decorations and furnishings which
clearly refer to wine-making, as well as agronomic terms in
Latin, and production techniques still in use today.
The Roman era came to an end around the middle of the
5th century with the invasion of the Vandals; the
destruction and abandonment of the culture
which accompanied the period brought about
the resumption of intensive agrarian activity
by the Byzantines. One result of this was
the introduction of new vines, over and
above the well organised norm of the
period. In particular, it was the
Basilican monks, of Greek ritual, who
contributed to the renaissance of
vine culture through the planting of
new vines around their monasteries.

... the fascinating idea of
wine production dating
from the nuraghic period
is hinted at by some
archeological findings...
... the Carta de Logu
of Eleonora D’Arborea,
introduced in the
Giudicale period,
regulated Sardinian
wine-making activities...
Islam, invaded territories facing the
Mediterranean in the 7th century, Sardinia
was only marginally involved, passing
relatively unharmed through the period
during which Moslem rulings forbade the
consumption
of
wine.
Sardinian
winemaking carried on uninterrupted.
Following the decline of the Byzantine
Empire, the four Giudicati of Cagliari,
Arborea, Torres and Gallura were born.
During the Giudicati period, Sardinia set
about consolidating and increasing its
wine
production,
protecting
vine
cultivation and commerce by means of
truly
exemplary
legislation.
Such
regulations were codified in the Codice
Rurale di Mariano IV d’Arborea, dating back
to 1353, and formed part of the Carta de
Logu, issued by Eleonora d’Arborea at the
end of the 1300’s. Severe sanctions,
generally pecuniary, but going as far as the
cutting off of the left hand, for those who
uprooted or set fire to the vines of others,
were imposed.
In the Codice degli Statuti del Libero Comune
di Sassari, dating from the late 1200’s, article
128 applied to over-production of vines in the north of
the 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 in
the territory of Sassari or nearby, except if someone has a vine
and wants to uproot it from the land, he/she can only replace
the number uprooted, and if someone has fallow-land, he can
plant tricla or similar vines, not to be transformed into wine on
his/her land”.
Between the 13th and 18th centuries, new cultivars were
introduced to the island under Aragonese and Spanish
domination. Such types, both of black and white types, are
still, for the most part, under cultivation.
The introduction of the new system of growing vines known
as sa catalanisca, which means without support, as opposed
6
to the sa sardisca, where vines were supported is also
attributed by some to this period. Other historians maintain
that this system was already in use in Sardinia during the
Roman era, from which use the term alberello latino derives,
and is still in use. At the end of the 19th century, that is to say
before phylloxera devastated vine plantations, Sardinia had
about 80,000 hectares dedicated to specialised vine growing.
After replantation of new vines grafted onto American
rootstocks, viticulture took off again and expanded to such a
point that around 75,000 hectares were occupied. Alongside
this growth of winemaking, programmed with incentives by
the Regione Sardegna, cooperatives for the processing of
grapes in modern plants took place.
The winemaking structure, well set up and in constant
development, is flanked by cooperative and private infrastructures,
represented by small and medium businesses, using modern
technology at the avantgarde of organisation and
commercialisation of wine production.
The application of “state of the art” technology has finally
allowed Sardinia to compete in the marketing of quality wines
with the greatest European producers. On this generous,
hospitable island, the climate, the soil and the species of vines
knowledgeably nurtured by mankind have given birth to wines
of high quality, some vigorous and robust, others elegant and
aristocratic, but always conceived in harmony between
production and environment. The equilibrium and singular taste
sensations of Sardinian wines remind us of the richly-coloured
fabrics of the island’s
traditional costumes, an
expression of ancient
Sardinian culture.

VERMENTINO
Sardinia is undoubtedly the chosen land for this species, which together with
Cannonau, represents the most typical expression of regional winemaking.
Coming to Sardinia through Corsica at the end of the 1800’s, from the
granite terrain of Gallura, where it found its perfect habitat, it spread
throughout the island, where it currently occupies about 2,800 hectares. The
Vermentino cultivated in Sardinia is a wine of great personality, which bears
no comparison to other Italian or foreign wines, even if they bear the same
name. Its presence throughout the island, characterised by varying
environments of cultivation, allows the wine to express the various
characters of its zones of origin, whilst maintaining a unifying, common
characteristic of quality. Demand for this wine has shown constant and
consistent growth. Among the three most important types, Vermentino has
shown constant growth in demand, never suffering from serious
fluctuations. Vermentino vines are currently used for the production of
DOCG Vermentino di Gallura, and the DOC Vermentino di Sardegna, as well
as Alghero Vermentino frizzante (sparkling). The Vermentino di Gallura has a
pale straw colour, with shades of luminous gold, a strong and refined
perfume of mature fruit, broom and aromatic herbs. The taste is dense, soft
with dry overtones, and a warm “mineral” aftertaste.

NURAGUS
Among the white-grape vines of Sardinia, Nuragus is still the most
widely cultivated, even though it has shown a gradual territorial
concentration of late. Growing is concentrated in the provinces of
Cagliari and Oristano, where it occupies some 3,300 hectares. The
origins, lost in time, place it among the oldest vines introduced to
Sardinia, probably being brought by Phoenician mariners, who built the
ancient city of Nora, the remains of which can still be seen in the south-west
coastal zone of Cagliari. The considerable diffusion of this vine over the
years 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 is
derived from Nuragus grapes. The wine is sharp-tasting, and
pleasantly fresh to the palate. It often has verdant overtones, and hints
of white flowers, green apples and delicate citrus flavours. The wine
was granted DOC Nuragus di Cagliari status in 1975.

SEMIDANO
A white-grape species of uncertain origins, common all over the island
since ancient times. The end of the 19th century witnessed a
substantial reduction in vineyards following the phylloxera blight, after
which more productive, and resistant species, such as Nuragus, came
to be preferred when re-planting became due.
Semidano is currently grown only in a small area of the Campidano of
Oristano, on medium clay and chalky soil, on hillsides. A very fine wine
is obtained from the species, characterised by a luminous golden
straw colour, floral scents, with accents of peach and apricot. The
taste is pleasantly soft, with suggestions of fruit and aromatic herbs.
The DOC title of Sardegna Semidano, with the sub-denomination of
Mogoro was conferred in 1995.

TORBATO
History relates that this vine landed in Spain in the wake of the
Carthaginians and Phoenicians, who came from the Aegean sea
basin, considered to be the place of origin of the great Malvasia family, a
family in which Torbato is surely to be numbered. Subsequent eras
saw the vine spread to areas around the Mediterranean basin,
including Sardinia, where it was introduced during the period of
Spanish dominion. Cultivation of the vine increased considerably
during the 300-year period of Catalan occupation of the island. Most
of the wine was exported to the court of the King of Aragon, where it
was particularly appreciated.
Nowadays, it is grown in a small, 900 hectare zone of Alghero, an area
bearing clear signs of its Catalan past. Torbato is purely produced to
obtain the eponymous wine, as well as a sparkling variety, both
bearing the title of DOC Alghero.
The wine is of a medium straw colour, with a taste which recalls
minerals, white flowers and fruit. It is both lively and refreshing.

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

CARIGNANO
Production of this characteristic wine is almost totally concentrated in
the Sulcis, a zone between the final mountain range of south-western
Sardinia and the sea. It was probably the Phoenicians, founders of
ancient Sulci on the isle of Sant’Antioco, who introduced the vine to
Sardinia. The area under cultivation is only around 1,700 hectares, but
despite this, Carignano may be considered one of the most important
and prestigious of all Sardinian wines. The capability of the vine to resist
salt 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 and
richness of perfume to the wine. A deep red wine results from this
balance between climate and soil, with warm perfumes of plums and
cherries, sweet spices, chocolate, liquorice and black pepper. The
taste is aristocratic and well-balanced, suggesting soft, elegant tannin
overtones. Recognised as DOC in 1977, it is marketed as DOC
Carignano del Sulcis.

BOVALE SARDO
The name Bovale refers to two species of vine, Bovale Sardo and
Bovale di Spagna; the latter, which came to the island from Spain
around 1300, is also known as Bovale Grande.
Recent research confirms a substantial difference between the two
species. Bovale Sardo, known locally and synonymously as Muristellu,
of known origins, is to be found in various zones of the island, but finds
its favoured terrain in the sunny Mandrolisai zone, in the province of
Nuoro, 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 sardo
technique, 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 or
Terralba.

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

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

MOSCATO
An ancient species, already present at the time of the Romans, who
called it vitis apiana, due to its always being surrounded by bees,
attracted by the sweetness of its grape. It can be found throughout
Mediterranean wine-growing territories. In Sardinia, it is chiefly present in
the chalky, sunny zones of lower Campidano and Romangia, as well as
the granite area of Gallura.
The three areas give three characteristic typologies of Moscato, which
have the following DOC nomenclature: Moscato di Cagliari, Moscato di
Sorso-Sennori and Moscato di Sardegna spumante, sub-typed as
Tempio or Gallura.
The sparkling variety apart, we may consider Sorso-Sennori as the best
example of this marvellous wine, traditionally grown with the alberello
system, of low yield per hectare. Exposure to the sun on dry chalky soil
gives great depth to the taste of this rich, aromatic wine. Its warm colour
suggests amber, the perfume is that of its fruit of origin, enriched with
suggestions of honey, almond, figs, apricot jam and mosto cotto (cooked
must). Exquisitely sweet, warm and soft to the palate.

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

MALVASIA
A refined, delicate dessert and meditative wine considered a symbol of
hospitality and friendship, reserved for special occasions and special
people. The name of the wine comes from the Greek port of Monemvasia
in the Peloponnese, where, around 1400, a flourishing wine trade with
various Mediterranean localities began. Vine species were also spread
through this commerce, and this is why Malvasia can be found under
widespread cultivation in Italy, but with very varied ampelographic
characteristics.
According to some researchers, the Malvasia species was already
present in Sardinia in the Byzantine era, in the Planargia hills and around
the Campidano di Cagliari. The probability of Greek origin is confirmed by
the dialect expression Alvarega, which means White Greek. Two different
DOC wines derive from this renowned vine species, Malvasia di Bosa and
Malvasia di Cagliari. They are very different from both an organoleptic and
taste point of view, chiefly due to varying climatic conditions and
cultivation techniques. The defining characteristic of Malvasia di Bosa
production is a maturation in barrels, which are not completely filled, and
the important presence of flor yeasts. This lends the wine a warm and
luminous golden tonality, as well as an intense and refined taste of mature
fruit, honey and roasted almonds. To the palate, it presents a prolonged,
velvet-like presence of great balance and harmony. Malvasia di Cagliari is
not matured in barrels, apart from the Riserva typology, and is
characterised by a lighter golden colour, as well as fresher taste given by
fine and elegant flower and fruit notes.

VERNACCIA
An ancient and noble species, found in Sardinia since the times of the
Phoenicians, who introduced it along the Oristano coast, the Sinis
peninsula and the ancient staging port of Tharros.
Cultivation has always been exclusively limited to the Province of
Oristano, where it is chiefly grown using the alberello latino method. It
flourishes in the low terrain of the Tirso and Rio Mannu flood-lands. The
name of the vine, held to have been conferred by the Romans, derives
from vernacula, which means a grape of the zone. This would explain the
presence 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 unique
characteristics to an oxidative maturation, of at least 3-4 years in barrels
which are not completely filled. The presence of oxygen encourages the
rise of yeast to the top of the must, forming characteristic flor film, which
contributes to the special aroma, known in the ancient vernacular as
Murrai. This particular refinement happens even today in the traditional
wineries (cantine di Oristano) made of straw and mud with a typical
terracotta roof. As long ago as the 19th century, Cettolini wrote of
Vernaccia, “… It must be judged by the senses… its aroma is worthy; the
delicacy 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 a
unique personality revealed to us through all its sensory expressions,
including the warm amber shades of its colour, its complex, ethereal taste
sensations of Madera, dried fruit, almond flowers and bitter honey which
linger on the palate with extraordinary tenacity. Apart from DOC Vernaccia
di Oristano, the first Denomination recognised in Sardinia in 1971, a young
white wine known commercially as IGT Valle del Tirso is produced.

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