Sardinian wine that is characterized by its body, is obtained exclusively with grapes from the territory of Oristano. The vine we talk about is Vernaccia di Oristano. With a scent of the nuances of almond blossom, this wine is often compared to sherry. Its D.O.C production is small and reserved for a few producers, while most of the grapes are used to produce a young wine with the designation I.G.T.
Legend has it that Vernaccia wine has therapeutic properties (it seems that in the past centuries, it was used to fight malaria) as, always according to legend, it has origin from the tears of the Patroness of Oristano, Santa Giusta. A meditation wine to savor outside meals: here is Vernaccia di Oristano. For some it is also used in cooking for the preparation of fish dishes.
As for the territory of origin, we would like to remember that in the Sinis Peninsula, numerous archaeological finds have been found. This demonstrates the ancient origin of the Vernaccia di Oristano grape variety.
