Nuragus di Cagliari
Wine · PDO · 191 municipalities
Recognised since 1976, the Nuragus di Cagliari DOC is defined by its massive, multi-province production zone that spans 191 Sardinian municipalities, starting alphabetically with Abbasanta. This sprawling territory reflects the historical dominance of the Nuragus variety across south-central Sardinia. While 35 verified producers craft these straw-yellow wines using a minimum of 85% Nuragus grapes, this denomination distinguishes itself through its flexible packaging rules. Beyond traditional glass bottles, the official guidelines explicitly permit alternative packaging, allowing the wine to be distributed in multilayer plastic pouches within rigid outer boxes of two litres or more.
