LA GIARA line

The La Giara Line is our Top Line. It consists of wines of great depth and importance. The vinified grapes come from non-irrigated vineyards of at least thirty years up to, in some ancient structures, monuments aged over eighty years. The red grape varieties - Cannonau, Bovale Sardo and Carignano - are often grown on saplings and on ungrafted vines.


There are five labels of our La Giara Line: a White, Vermentino di Sardegna DOC, a Rosato IGT obtained from grapes of the Bovale variety, a Cannonau DOC, and two important Red IGT wines obtained by vinifying grapes of the Bovale Sardo variety, in one case in purity, and in our flagship wine in blend with Carignano. The red wines of the La Giara line age in barriques from 6 to 18 months and then continue with a refinement in bottles which are stored horizontally to rest for three to six months before being sold.

"We''ll tell you..."

...Nuragus is among the oldest grape varieties introduced to Sardinia by the Phoenicians. Its adaptability and generous productivity have allowed it to spread widely in our territories, where for decades, it was the most widely grown grape variety. The vineyards, aged between 30 and 60 years, are cultivated on limestone, hilly, and partly mountainous soils. The harvest, to allow a greater accumulation of sugars and terpenes, takes place in the first decade of October. In the winery, the grapes undergo a soft pressing and after a natural cold settling, the flower of the must ferments at low temperatures to preserve and enhance the original characteristics of the grape.

"We'll tell you..."

...the Vermentino grapes come from the vocated wine-growing areas of the central-western territory of Sardinia. Some ripen on the sands of Arcidano, cradled by the sea breeze that gives them unique aromas and a marked saltiness. The remaining grapes are instead cultivated on the gentle hills of Marmilla, on marl soils, white and dry, which give us its characteristic long and dry taste. From this special combination, after a cold maceration for thirty-six hours and fermentation at low temperatures, Vermentino La Giara is born, a fresh sip of wine that accompanies us from the sea to the high hills of Sardinia.

...Semidano is one of the few native grape varieties of Sardinia. It is cultivated on just a few tens of total hectares, mainly in the territories of the municipalities of Mogoro and Sardara, from which our grapes come. Until a few decades ago it was used as a blending grape, mainly to enhance Nuragus. Thanks to its rediscovery and valorization, its pure vinification results in a wine that releases its typical salinity and a persistent freshness on the palate. The fermentation of Semidano La Giara is preceded by a short cold maceration of the skins, allowing the must to transform into an elegant and balanced wine.x

These wines are characterised by their freshness and immediacy through which you can appreciate aromas and nuances reminiscent of the grape from which they come. Even the Reds, often from the latest vintage, after a brief refinement in steel containers, keep the characteristics of the grape intact. 


The grapes come from vineyards between the ages of ten and twenty and are harvested when ripe, trying to preserve the right balance between the acidity and body of the wines.
