Wines that tell the story of our land

Wine, and in particular Malvasia, is an integral part of life in Bosa and the very DNA of the community.
It's an evocative and fascinating place, surrounded by hills from which one overlooks the valley
and is reflected in the green river that flows a few kilometers into the beautiful sea.
Masia vineyards are located in the first valley south of Bosa, beyond the hills beyond the river,
in the areas called Campeda and Lacos; a historic area where since ancient times vines have been grown.
It's an area protected from cold winds from the north but also from hot winds from the south.
In fact, the entire valley takes on a conformation similar to that of an amphitheater in that it's surrounded by hills,
with only one opening to the west towards the sea that allows the mistral to enter and bring with it
the precious saltiness that enriches the wines by giving them minerality. In particular, in the Campeda area,
Malvasia was first planted, which, contrary to what was thought in the past, was not imported in modern times,
but has been present in Sardinia since the Nuragic period as demonstrated by recent discoveries.
Here, in particular, we find all those fundamental elements for obtaining an excellent product:
altitude about 76 yard above sea level, distance from the sea less than 1 mile, very low rainfall 20-22" per year,
with rainfall concentrated mainly in the autumn-winter period. Exposure of the vineyards to the southwest
therefore sunny all day, prevalence of limestone which being poor in nutrients helps to reduce yields
and still the white color of the limestone soil reverberates the sun's rays helping to concentrate the sugar content
and aromas of the berries, exposure to the mistral that carries saltiness giving minerality to the wine.
The Mistral wind brings scents from the sea that the grapes
majestically preserve and give to the winemaker at harvest time.
The area called Lacos is less sunny and the vineyards face east, which causes the vines to get less sun
but this favors the freshness of the wine which is less powerful but equally suave.
The latter is also a historical grape-growing area and equally rich in olive groves.
It is also rich in water, hence the name Lacos. Evidence from the past tells us that here stood in Judaic times
a Cistercian monastery, attracted by the possibility of developing agriculture because it was rich in water.
The red grapes are those typical of Planargia and represent a mix of native varieties available to the skilled farmers who preceded us. The base is represented by Pascale around which revolve varieties such as Cannonau, Muristellu, Monica, Retagliadu, Zirone; all varieties wisely proportioned that contribute to obtaining a wine with a unique bouquet.
