Tondini

Situated in the picturesque Alta Gallura area, Tenute Tondini is a family-run winery that has stood out for the quality and originality of its wines since its foundation in 2004. The winery is located in San Leonardo, between the municipalities of Luras and Calangianus, an area known not only for the production of excellent Vermentino, but also for being the main Sardinian cork cultivation area. The Tondini family is passionately dedicated to cultivating the 20 hectares of vineyards. Vermentino occupies most of the vineyard area, reflecting the natural vocation of the land. However, the vineyards also host other native varieties such as Moscato, Cannonau and Caricagiola, as well as international ones such as Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Dolcetto. The rows are located at altitudes between 300 and 400 metres above sea level, benefiting from excellent daily temperature ranges that enhance the aromatic characteristics of the grapes. The family's production philosophy is based on the principle that the quality of wine comes first and foremost from the vineyard. For this reason, yields per hectare are deliberately limited, guaranteeing greater concentration and intensity of flavour. In the cellar, then, the aim is to support and enhance what the land has to offer, using modern technology to preserve the aromatic heritage of the wines during fermentation. For ageing, the whites rest in steel, while the reds mature mainly in oak barrels, adding complexity and structure.
