Wine from Cantine di Dolianova

Cantine di Dolianova was founded in 1949 on the union of 35 growers who joined forces to realize a common dream. Nowadays, the Cantine boasts over 300 associates; many of whom are the children and grandchildren of the founding members who carry on their fathers’ dreams with their commitment. Cantine di Dolianova was established to continue and promote the winemaking tradition.
In 2019 the wineries will celebrate their 70th anniversary. It is no coincidence that the history begins precisely in Dolianova, in the heart of Parteolla. In fact, recent discoveries have certified the presence of a winemaking culture in the territory, dating back to the Nuraghic period - an ancient tradition that renders the Winery’s history even more important.

70 years of history, 3,000 years of tradition.
In Sardinia, the name Dolianova has always been linked to the production of quality wines. The first evidence of wine-growing in the area dates back to over a thousand years ago, according to the Nuraghic artefacts (jugs, wine presses) found in the area.

The Cantine’s family album is full of images that show the Cooperative’s evolution and tell its winemaking story. Photos of the grape harvests, historic bottles and the first awards that they won. The faces of the past are superimposed with those of today, as the Cantine’s associates are often the children and grandchildren of the initial founders.
It has been easy to pass down the Cantine’s values from father to son over the last 70 years: love for the land, passion for the vines and commitment to always improve by aiming to produce superior quality wine. Today, like then, we work to give those who love our labels all the quality of the best Sardinian vines.
So many years of history have taught us that quality cannot be improvised. Cantine di Dolianova is ready to look to the future, with the strength and awareness that 70 years of history has brought us, along with the wisdom of an area that boasts 3,000 years of wine-making tradition.

The vineyards are mainly planted in Parteolla, in southeastern Sardinia - one of the sunniest parts of the island. The vineyards are located in the towns of Dolianova, Serdiana, Donori, Ussana and Soleminis. The most typical grape varieties of Sardinian traditions - Cannonau, Monica, Vermentino, Nuragus and Moscato - have found an ideal habitat here. The area is characterized by low hills and rolling terrain. Here, in the lower Campidano region, mild and moderately rainy winters alternate with hot, dry summers, with average minimum temperatures of approximately 12° C (rarely dropping below zero) and average maximum temperatures of 22° C (reaching maximums of 40° C at times).
