What grows here
Simala
22 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the dry Oristano countryside of Sardinia, a small community of just 282 inhabitants preserves Simala’s distinct grape-growing legacy. This tiny territory possesses 22 protected food and wine denominations, dominated by localized viticulture. Chief among these is the Marmilla IGT, representing a highly restricted wine zone of only 18 municipalities, alongside the Campidano di Terralba DOC. Here, warm Mediterranean winds and clay-heavy soils create optimal conditions for robust Bovale grapes. These local factors yield deeply concentrated, structured wines that directly express the mineral-rich soils of this specific Sardinian hillside.
