What grows here
Ales
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the historic Marmilla hills of Sardinia's Oristano province, the municipality of Ales—celebrated as the birthplace of Antonio Gramsci—fosters a unique viticultural terroir where 20 protected denominations overlap. These volcanic slopes nurture the highly localized Arborea DOC, a wine designation limited to a zone of 50 municipalities. From the town center to its solitary hamlet of Zeppara, the local soils also yield expressive white and red wines under the Tharros IGT, which encompasses a zone of 78 municipalities, reflecting how this specific Sardinian landscape translates historical heritage into distinct, geologic-driven bottles.
