the wines of Sardinia
glass of vino?Carignano del sulcis
The Sulcis region of Sardinia is located in the southwest of the island
where Carignao is the most popular grape variety. The area was one of
the first to be settled by the Phoenicians who with them brought a grape
growing form of agriculture.
Carignano’s cultivation is concentrated in the southwestern part
of the island because of its good resistance to the salt-laden winds blowing
in from the sea.
