About Winery and Wines

Emidio Oggianu Winery, located in the scenic Badde Nuraghe area of Bosa, Sardinia, is deeply committed to the excellence of its Malvasia di Bosa wines.

The company was founded in 1956 by Angelo Oggianu, who established the vineyard in the Badde Nuraghe area of Magomadas. His son, Emidio, inherited the vineyard in 1968 and expanded the operation after retiring in 1995. Emidio replanted the vineyards using the Guyot training system and oversaw the entire production process on-site. A new facility was built for vinification, aging, and hospitality, including guest accommodations. Today, Emidio’s son, Stefano, continues the legacy, expanding the vineyard and maintaining the family’s passion for Malvasia.

The Oggianu family, now by Emidio's son Stefano, meticulously tends to their vineyards, where the calcareous, volcanic, and sandstone soils create an ideal terroir classified as CRU. The winery’s philosophy emphasizes quality over quantity, ensuring that every bottle reflects the essence of Sardinian heritage. Visitors to Malvasia Oggianu can experience this passion firsthand, with guided tours through the vineyards and cellars, and the joy of tasting a wine that captures the spirit of the land and the dedication of its makers.

Emidio Oggianu Winery is renowned for its production of Malvasia di Bosa DOC, focusing primarily on the reserve version, which reflects the winery’s dedication to crafting high-quality wines. In the cellar, the winery's Malvasia must age for at least 48 months. Aging takes place in non-toasted oak barrels, the goal is to make a wine with its flavor and not with the flavor of the barrel, the wood is used for oxygenation and not to give perfumes. The refinement in the bottle is also very important, the wine leaves the cellar only when it is ready.

In years where the vintage is less favorable, the winery distills the Malvasia into a remarkable brandy, showcasing its commitment to excellence. Additionally, Emidio Oggianu has recently begun producing a white IGT Planargia, made from 100% Vermentino, which has quickly garnered attention for its fresh and intriguing character. Each wine embodies the unique terroir of the region and the passion of the Oggianu family.
