Jerzu Antichi Poderi
Jerzu wine is born in small areas of land with unique characteristics. An island within an island where the sea meets the mountain.
We are in ‘Ogliastra, the land of centenarians where man has stolen the secret of longevity from nature. Along a 700 meter difference in altitude, profoundly different ecosystems and landscapes chase each other. While the first bunches are forming upstream, on the same days, downstream, the grapes are thinned out to improve their quality. This peculiarity is reflected in the winery’s offering. Antichi Poderi Jerzu is a widespread excellence in the territory thanks to the thousand-year-old relay that has handed down the passion for wine understood as a life project from one generation to the next. The winery was born in 1950 from the happy intuition of the eighteen founders.
Sardegna
Sardinia, is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. The island, known as Sardegna to its Italian-speaking inhabitants, has belonged to various empires and kingdoms over the centuries. This is reflected in its unique portfolio of wine grapes.
The varieties planted in Sardinian vineyards, are mostly varieties of French and Spanish origin, exemplified by Grenache (called Cannonau here), Carignan (Carignano), Cabernet Sauvignon and Bobal.
The most "Italian" varieties here are Malvasia and Vermentino, but even Vermentino can only just be considered Italian, being more widely planted on Corsica and southern France – often under the name Rolle – than in its homeland. Aside from the better-known grape varieties mentioned above, the island makes use of several obscure and fairly exclusive varieties, including Torbato, Semidano, Niederra, Nuragus, Monica and Nasco. The latter three are showcased in their own variety-specific DOCs, all from Cagliari.
