GRAPE VARIETIES
Colline del Vento was founded in 2006 in Villasimius, at the exact point where the hills descend towards the sea. It's a family-run winery, small by choice, and organic out of respect for the land we cultivate every day.
Our vineyards grow on granite soils, buffeted by the Mediterranean wind and sun. This isn't just folklore; it's what you taste in the glass. The salt, the minerality, the savoriness that can't be added in the cellar, because either you have it in the vineyard or you don't.
We make only a few wines. We know each one intimately.
they are the ultimate expression of Villasimius' terroir
Walk among the rows, taste the territory, take home a wine that tells its story.
WALK & TASTING AMONG THE VINES WITH APERITIVO
Stroll through rows of Cannonau and Vermentino, cross the Mediterranean scrub and discover how an organic wine is made in the Villasimius area. The visit ends under a centuries-old carob tree with a tasting of our artisanal wines paired with traditional Sardinian specialties.
An afternoon in the vineyard that tells more than a thousand descriptions in a bottle.
FRESH PASTA COURSE: PREPARE TYPICAL CULURGIONES
You learn culurgiones with your hands. You knead the dough, prepare the potato and mint filling, and then comes the difficult part: the braided closure, a technique passed down from family to family. At the end of the workshop, everyone sits together — local appetizers, Sardinian wine, time slows down. A lunch that tastes of authentic Sardinia, not a brochure.
LUNCH/DINNER & VINEYARD TOUR
Visiting Colline del Vento means walking the land before understanding the wine. Mario guides visitors through the rows, talking about the vineyard and the current season. Gianluca explains the territory, the organic philosophy, and the choices made in the cellar. You'll walk through the Mediterranean scrub, touch the earth, and conclude under the carob tree with a lunch that uses what grows here.
Not a tour. A day in a real vineyard.
Every jar has an origin. Every origin has a story. Every story tastes of Sardinia.
