The winery of Vigne Surrau overlooks a site of over 50 hectares of land covered with vineyards. The project interprets the basement as a workplace that transforms a product of the land through visible processes, guaranteeing authenticity and quality. The architectural project is the result of a harmonious investigation between building and nature. The building is in fact realized by a series of transparent facades and local stone walls that merge with the land. The characteristics of the soil combined with the unique climate, lots of sun and constant wind, make Gallura one of the best places to grow grapes in Sardinia. The vineyards have a south-eastern location and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. The wind ensures that the grapes remain healthy and thanks to the presence of the sea, the grapes become extra juicy. At Surrau we work with respect for people and nature, so with minimal intervention and the motto at Surrau is that a good wine must come from a good and healthy vineyard.
The Narcau or (or Nuraghe) are fortresses built by ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean and these can still be found on the island of Sardegna or Sardinia
The Cannonau is the main red grape of the island. Cannonau is the Sardinian name for Grenach or Garnacha. Cannonau di Sargegna means: the grapes can come from anywhere in Sardinia .
The grapes for this Cannonau di Sargegna come from the 20-30 year old vines. The emphasis is on the fruit with fermentation and aging in stainless steel. After six months of maturation, the wine is bottled and then aged in bottle for another three months. It is a fresh, juicy medium-bodied wine with savory notes, blackberries, strawberry flavors, notes of dried woody herbs. The Surrau Naracu Cannonau is an open and fresh wine with more typical Mediterranean fruit and mineral expressions of the granite soil of Gallura. The tannins are ripe and integrated for a long, smooth finish and we like to drink the wine slightly chilled. Like all wines, this wine is also sustainably produced.
Vigne Surrau is located on the Costa Smeralda, the symbol of the famous entrance of Galurra and is the project of the Demuro family. This project is the result of a harmonious collaboration between nature and humans. Respect for nature and people are paramount and that is how the wines are grown. Minimal intervention and good wine comes from healthy vineyards.
Surrau's vineyards, covering about 50 hectares, are located in the east of Gallura, a few kilometers from the sea, in sunny valleys cherished by the Mistral wind. Surrau is a young and innovative company with an old soul, whose core values lie in both tradition and innovation. The tradition of choosing traditional grape varieties and the innovation we find in winemaking, using advanced equipment and experimenting in oenological terms. The grape varieties grown are Vermentino, Cannonau, Carignano, Muristellu, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, with all the work in the vineyards being done manually.
Vigne Surrau is located a few kilometers from the sea, in East Gallura, where the bottom consists of granite rocks formed by wind and water. The subsoil consists mainly of granite and sand, and is rich in fossils. This makes it an excellent soil for growing grapes, as the tendrils can root deeply. This creates fragrant, pleasant wines with a good alcohol percentage. The characteristics of the soil, combined with the unique climate, lots of sun and constant wind, make Gallura one of the best places to grow grapes in Sardinia. The vineyards have a south-eastern location and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. The wind ensures that the grapes remain healthy and thanks to the presence of the sea, the grapes become extra juicy.
