Wine Map of Italy
Sardegna (Sardinia)
The island's vines tell a story of their own, frequently with a Spanish accent. The Mediterranean stalwarts are there in the various clones of Muscat and Malvasia, but several other varieties are practically unique in Italy, such as Cirò, Cannonau, Nuragus, Monica, Torbato and Vernaccia di Oristano.
Sardinia's major vineyard area is the Campidano, the fertile plains and low, rolling hills northwest of the capital and major port of Cagliari. The varieties grown there - Cirò, Malvasia, Monica, Moscato, Nasco and Nuragus - carry the name of Cagliari in their denominations.
