On the wine trail in Sardinia

posted: Friday 13 November 2009 by Giorgio in: Sardinia Wine and Spirits Travel in Italy

If you are a wine lover and planning to visit Sardinia, you will be glad to know that there’s an Italian wine to add to the list of its superb wines; called Carignano del Sulcis (also known as the barolo from the south), this wine is made from grapes growing in the South-west corner of the island which is very rich in sandy soils. The climate of the region plus the fact that these grapes are planted in sandy soils and don’t need grafting make these grapevines so much stronger that they can live and bear fruit for centuries. By the way if you are seriously planning to visit this part of Sardinia, don’t forget to explore the enchanting islands of Sant’Antioco and San Pietro; you will fall in love as soon as your eyes first gaze upon their magical presence!
