What grows here
Usellus
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
The volcanic soils flanking the northeastern slopes of Monte Arci, in the Alta Marmilla region, define the agricultural identity of Usellus. This obsidian-rich terrain nurtures the vines behind 20 protected denominations overlapping this territory. Chief among these is the Arborea DOC, a wine shared with just 50 municipalities, where grapes adapt uniquely to the ancient basaltic debris. Additionally, the maritime drafts of the nearby gulf nourish Tharros IGT vineyards. These distinctive geological conditions yield wines characterized by a pronounced minerality, expressing a highly localized terroir shaped by prehistoric volcanic activity.
