Sardinie
For centuries 'la Sardegna' was dominated by different peoples, in which the Spaniards played a prominent role. Despite this, Sardinia has remained a closed, unique community in Italy. In addition to wine, a lot of vegetables are grown here, with artichoke as a specialty. In addition, it is not the fish, but the sheep that are an important source of income. Sardinia has numerous, spread all over the island, providing the population with cheese, meat, wool and skins.
In Sardinia, too, there has been a realization that there is more honor to be gained with the production of fewer but better wines. The drastic grubbing of entire vineyards is one of the consequences of this. Today, the vineyard area of Sardinia has 43,000 hectares, compared to approximately 63,000 hectares 15 years ago. A relatively large part of the wine produced (in total approximately 800,000 hectoliters and thus the lowest in the whole of Italy) is DOC classified (20%).
