Cantina La Giara

About the estate

Cantina La Giara was founded in 1958 by a group of winemakers from Alta Marmilla at the foot of the Giara plateau in Sardinia. Fifty member growers cultivate a total of sixty hectares of vineyards across a diverse landscape featuring sandy, marly, and basaltic soils. Many of the mostly unirrigated older vines are traditionally head-trained on ungrafted rootstocks, resulting in low yields of unique grapes. The cooperative combines traditional methods with innovation to produce artisanal quality wines that express the character of this historic territory. The estate distributes its production to both domestic and international markets.

The eno directory lists 14 wines, mostly from Vermentino and Bovale.
