The agricultural company of Giuseppe Gabbas covers an area of about 30 hectares, of which 20 are cultivated with vineyards and 5 with olive groves, at an altitude between 240m and 350m above sea level in a valley at the foot of Supramonte, in the heart of Sardinia, ten km from Nuoro, the capital of Barbagia.
Deep soils, of granitic origin and sufficiently permeable, retain some moisture even during periods of long drought.
The particular climate of the area, influenced by the temperate breezes that come from the sea, which is a little more than twenty miles far, and the proximity of mountains, provide a good temperature range, with positive effects on the color and the flavor profile of grapes.
This promotes an ecosystem that is ideal for vines, reducing, inter alia, pesticide treatments, performed only with traditional products.
The rationality of the plants and their small extension make possible to practice a viticulture of the highest quality, based on growing principles such as pruning and restrained crop yields aimed at obtaining the exaltation of the varietal characteristics of the grapes.
The most cultivated grape variety is Cannonau, to which other local varieties were added, selected among the most interesting of the rich Sardinian wine panorama.
This small and dynamic production reality in an area particularly suited to the cultivation of vines is always able to give its best, giving wine traits of elegance and territoriality that elsewhere are difficult to reach.
