Vermentino – The wine of the region Gallura

Get to know Sardinian wines and taste them in the best wineries of North Sardinia.

Sardinia is like the rest of Italy famous for its wines: red wine, white wine, rosé wine and liqueur wine with different characteristics from North to South Sardinia.

The wines come from autochtonous grapes of different areas. The wines are partly fragrant, sweet, light or sophisticated.

We start with the famous Cannonau, the favourite wine of the writer Gabriele D’Annunzio which is cultivated in the centre of Sardinia, afterwards we’ll present you the intense ruby red Carignano del Sulcis wine. Malvasia of Bosa and Vernaccia of Oristano are produced at the west coast and they’re very special. The famous Vermentino comes from the region Gallura, in the North East of Sardinia.
