Is Tellas
The name Is Tellas comes from the large characteristic stones that make the terroir of Sardinia so calcareous. This soil ensures a unique quality grapes, from a great coastal winery.
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.
