Vermentino di Sardegna Doc

Boese is a Vermentino who draws inspiration from his toponym Vigna Truvaoese. A wine obtained from the grapes harvested in the historic family vineyard that Annalisa Cherchi inherited from her father Giovanni. 

Oxen have characterised rural agricultural activity for centuries. Already in ancient Rome, the soil was measured according to the amount of soil ploughed in a day by a pair of oxen. “Truvare sos boese” means encouraging them to plough.

Hence the name “Vigna Truvaoese”: the vineyard ploughed by oxen.
