More information on Sardinia

Sardinia’s viticulture was influenced too by the different traditions and cultures, and many of what are now considered local vines were brought to the island by these populations over the centuries. In more recent times, Sardinia’s winemakers were able to improve the quality of their production to obtain elegant red wines and crisp white wines such as the well-known Vermentino di Gallura, the only DOCG of the island. In addition, the island boasts 19 DOC and 15 IGT wines.
