In Sardinia wine is also made in marble. The story of the winery (and its young winemaker) located at a stone's throw from the quarries of Orosei

The vineyards that Marco Mossa tend to in Orosei are at a stone's throw from the quarries, “it is no coincidence,” he tells us, “that when working the vineyard, it’s normal to find hands and clothes covered in light-coloured dust”. Hence, the idea. Why not try ageing a small selection of his wine, a Cannonau di Sardegna, right in the Orosei marble?

"I don't make use of barriques or wood barrels in the cellar, I don't want these to affect the aroma or taste of my wine, which have to encapsulate the sensations that my territory offers. Wanting to do something highly territorial, the thought went straight to marble, but it was not easy.
