Winery Profile
- A great passion and solid technical skills prompted Ferruccio Deiana to create a winery, finally fulfilling a long-time dream to have his own vineyards and make his own wines, after a lifetime of winemaking for other wineries.
- His mission was drawing the attention of wine lovers to Basso Campidano and Parteolla, lands of natural beauty and rich culture. This part of Sardinia, next to Cagliari, is celebrated for its sweet hills and fertile valleys. Since antiquity, these lands have been a fortuitus realm of grapevines, wheat, and olives.
- The grape varieties are those typical of Sardinia: Vermentino, Monica, Cannonau, Carignano, Bovale (also called Bovaleddu), Barbera Sarda, Malvasia, Nasco and Moscato.
