What grows here
Villanovafranca
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the rolling Marmilla hills, Villanovafranca's agricultural roots run deep, anchored by the ancient Nuraghe Su Mulinu where a rare Iron Age altar still stands. This ancient terroir nurtures 20 protected denominations, crowned by the highly localized Zafferano di Sardegna DOP, cultivated within a restricted zone of just 3 municipalities. The town's sun-drenched clay soils also yield the prickly Carciofo Spinoso di Sardegna DOP and historic regional wines like Girò di Cagliari DOC. Here, the crimson threads of Sardinian saffron find their geological sweet spot, carrying on a legacy as enduring as the local stone.
