THE VINEYARDS
The vineyards are located in a hilly area at an altitude of about 180/200 metres above sea level.
They are positioned in various places in the countryside of Usinia and take their name from the places in which they are located.
Geographically located on the same ridge or ridge geologically constituted by alternating volcanic and sedimentary formations, they are medium textured soils, clayey-calcareous, of medium and low depth that thanks to the presence of skeleton and the slight slope in which they lie, guarantee a good percolation of the waters. There are no waterways. The nearest river is the Rio Mannu that flows about 1 kilametre away, in a south-westerly direction.
The vineyards, of different ages, are cultivated with the typical vines of the territory: Vermentino (43%), Cangulari (35%), Cannonau (7.6%). Only a small part is dedicated to the cultivation of international vines: Cabernet (4.3%), Merlot (3.7%).
