Tempio Pausania

Set deep in the rugged granite highlands of northern Sardinia, Tempio Pausania acts as a historic co-capital of the Gallura territory. This high-altitude outpost, shaped by its windy mountain climate, nurtures some of the island’s most distinctive viticulture, hosting 16 protected denominations. Chief among these is the Vermentino di Gallura DOCG, a crisp white wine cultivated across a restricted zone of 23 municipalities. The granite slopes also yield Colli del Limbara IGT, where quartz-rich soils impart a deep minerality to the wines, proving how this inland mountain town shapes the authentic flavors of northern Sardinia.
