The story: The wines of Atzei are a tribute to what makes Sardinia such a distinctive place. Celebrating the rich winemaking history of the island, only indigenous grapes are used from a network of boutique growers in the western region of Oristano.
Sardinia, and Ortistano in particular, is one of the oldest winegrowing regions in the world and an inspiration for the Atzei project. The relative isolation of this area naturally provides a clean environment that encourages minimal vineyard treatments and interventions. The style of their wines is traditional while observing modern tastes, resulting in wines which are both full of character and immensely approachable.
Why You'll Love Me: Aromas of yellow fruit, herbs, and elderberry flower lead to a palate that is savory and lively with good acidity and elegant structure.
