Neoneli

In Neoneli, where the granite highlands of Barbagia di Ollolai slope into the historic Barigadu basin on the Nuoro border, a distinct inland microclimate shapes exceptional viticulture. This specialized environment fosters 19 protected denominations. Chief among these is Tharros IGT, a coastal-influenced wine category limited to a zone of 78 municipalities. The dry soils also nurture grapes for the broader Cagliari DOC, which spans a zone of 182 municipalities. Here, the collision of mountain winds and marine influences yields intense, structured wines that capture the transition from Sardinia's rugged interior to its sun-baked hills.
