Terroir

• Sardegna is dominated by the Maestrale, the island's most frequent wind and a decisive natural factor shaping the viticultural climate.
• No inland point lies more than 53 km from the sea: the climate never takes on a continental character, even in the most interior zones.
• The temperate-warm climate, with mean temperatures never falling below 15°C and autumn-winter rainfall of up to 800 mm, covers the majority of the island and represents the optimal habitat for the vine up to 600 m above sea level.

• The Maestrale is identified as the most frequent wind over Sardegna, a decisive natural factor shaping the viticultural climate of the entire IGT.
• The vine thrives up to 600 m above sea level within the temperate-warm climate, the island's dominant habitat, where mean annual temperatures never fall below 15°C.

• The Maestrale, the prevailing wind across all of Sardegna, is the primary climatic force conditioning the island's viticulture.
