Terroir

• The production zone coincides with the whole of Sardegna (24,090 km²), the second-largest island in the Mediterranean, lying entirely within the Mediterranean climatic zone.
• The Maestrale is the dominant wind over the island, a fundamental natural component of the Sardinian climate in all seasons.
• No inland point is more than 53 km from the sea: the climate never takes on a continental character, with mild temperatures and modest diurnal temperature variation.

• Brilliant straw yellow in colour; aromatic and delicate on the nose; sweet and fruity on the palate, characteristic of Moscato. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• The Maestrale is the dominant wind in Sardegna and constitutes one of the natural climatic components that influences viticulture across the island.
