Nuragus
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Positioned roughly 74 kilometers north of Cagliari's coastal bustle, the quiet inland municipality of Nuragus lends its name to one of Sardinia’s most ancestral white wine grapes. Within this territory, which hosts 16 protected denominations, the specific soils shape both the local Provincia di Nuoro IGT and the namesake Nuragus di Cagliari DOC, a wine spanning 191 municipalities. The limestone-rich hillsides of this northern Cagliari outpost provide a distinct terroir, ensuring that ancient viticulture remains deeply anchored to the very land where the Nuragus grape historically took root.
