Terroir

• The Maestrale is the dominant wind across the entire island, a determining climatic factor for viticulture in Sardegna.
• No inland point is more than 53 km from the sea: the climate never takes on a continental character, even in the interior zones.
• The island's relief features rugged forms with steep slopes and sharp gradients, which, though not reaching considerable elevations, directly influence viticulture.
• Rainfall ranges from approximately 1,000 mm in the inland areas of the centre-north to less than 400 mm in the southernmost part of the island.

• The Maestrale, the island's dominant wind, is identified in the disciplinare as a key climatic factor conditioning viticulture in Sardegna.
