"We make wines of Sennori,
without Sennori and its land
we couldn’t exist".
Before writing about the vineyards and the winery, we can't avoid talking about the land. Often you will hear:«On these hills Nature wedded the grapevine and the olive tree». It is easy to understand while visiting the hills around Sennori, olives and vines everywhere. All is orderly; in the inner part, distant from the sea, there are only olive trees, in the hilly area, in front of the sea side, only vineyards.
The "elderly" had already understood, how positive the effects of mistral brought by the sea are. In Sennori wine is not a fashion. Elderly in living memory have always known vineyards and olive groves; this is why it is still possible to find vineyards which are more than a hundred years old. All this is fantastic. Sennori has a lot to offer, not only wine but also oil. It is necessary to have faith, behave seriously and honestly and to rely on quality and traditions. The rest … is just a matter of time.
The "cream color" and the low vine.
The land is 100% hilly. The altitude is 250 metres above sea level. The soil composition is in prevalence calcareous, therefore it has a yellowish-white colour. The vegetation is constituted by olive trees, vineyards, mediterranean "macchia" (sa chessa), prickly pears or "indian figs" (figu morisca), fig trees. Today's vineyards are the same as they were in the past: Sardinian low vines without irrigation and with a density of 5,000/7,000 plants per hectare.
Low wine. Because it was cheaper to plant, but also because the hilly lands above the sea benefit from mistral. Therefore this kind of cultivation has a better wind resistance. None artificial product are utilized in the vineyard.
