What grows here
Atzara
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
High within the granite-strewn highlands of Sardinia's Nuoro province, the remote enclave of Atzara, historically shaped by its small population of under a thousand residents, nurtures some of the island's most distinctive viticulture. This specific mountain terroir is the core of Mandrolisai DOC, a highly localized red wine shared among a restricted zone of just 7 municipalities. Benefiting from high-altitude solar exposure and weathered soils, Atzara hosts 16 protected denominations in total, including the Provincia di Nuoro IGT, proving that this isolated community punches far above its weight.
