LA NOSTRA
TERRA
“Questa terra non assomiglia a nessun altro posto. La Sardegna e’ un’altra cosa: incantevoli spazi e distanze da viaggiare, nulla di definitivo. E’ come la liberta stessa”
Cit. David Herbert Lawrence
Food and Authenticity
In the picturesque setting of Sardinia, the excellence of local products and the richness of the culinary tradition manifest themselves in a fascinating gastronomic journey. The region’s historic vineyards offer fine wines, including the refined Malvasia, the robust Nepente and the fragrant Vermentino di Gallura. The sensory experience offered by these wines is completed with the intriguing world of desserts, authentic gastronomic gems. S’Aranzada, a delicate fusion of orange and almond, and sebadas, cheese-filled pancakes at the centre of the playful dispute between sugar connoisseurs and honey purists, represent authentic delicacies capable of conquering every palate. Another piece of the island’s gastronomic history is its lush olive groves. The production of olive oil, with indigenous varieties such as Bosana and Nera di Oliena, gives a rich flavour to sea and land dishes.
Delicacy of Sardinia
Discover the genuine delicacy of Sardinia with typical sweets, a real treat for the palate and a unique culinary experience. Immerse yourself in traditional taste with Su Pistiddu, an irresistible sweet filled with sapa or honey, which enchants with its soft texture and rich flavour.

Explore the authenticity of the territory with the Pompia, a typical citrus fruit from Siniscola, which adds a fresh, citrus note to our sweets. A typical cake that stands out for its sumptuous appearance is the famous Torta di Mandorle Sarda, also known as the ‘bride and groom’s cake’, finely decorated with icing and the characteristic pavoncelle, which looks as if it were covered in lace, a true masterpiece of Sardinian pastry-making. Let yourself be carried away by the culinary traditions of this fascinating region and delight your palate with the best flavours of Sardinia.
wines and vineyards
Sardinia boasts a rich wine tradition, with Vermentino di Gallura, one of the Italian white wines to boast the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita. This wine, with its aromas of almond and fruit, is a perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes and is produced by three historic wineries, as well as numerous small emerging ones. In addition to Vermentino, the region offers a variety of grape varieties such as Moscato, Nebbiolo and Cannonau, the latter famous for its intense flavour and culinary versatility. Sardinia is also renowned for its liqueurs, including Limoncello and Mirto, the berries of which are harvested between November and January and have become known worldwide for their characteristic sharp aroma.
The cuisine and flavours of Sardinia
Sardinian cuisine is characterised by the harmonious combination of ingredients from the sea and the land, resulting in dishes with authentic island flavours. From the fish-rich coast to the hinterland, the Sardinian culinary tradition offers a variety of typical dishes. Among the most popular are Gallura soup, suckling pig and pane frattau, or first courses such as malloreddus or fregula. Among the most original preparations is certainly su Filindeu, the threads of God, an ancient type of pasta in thin layers cooked in broth, while the most representative element remains pane carasau, extremely versatile and tasty for snacks. Traditionally, it was prepared by the women of the family in long sessions and was the staple of the diet. To end on a sweet note, you can enjoy delicious desserts such as pardulas, called casgiatini in Gallura, a dessert famous for the simplicity and softness of its cheese filling, wrapped in a shell of fragrant puff pastry.
“Life in Sardinia is perhaps the best a man can hope for: twenty-four thousand kilometers of forests, countryside, and coastline immersed in a miraculous sea should coincide with what I would advise the good Lord to give us as Paradise.” Fabrizio De André
