Romangia is a historic region in north-western Sardinia overlooking the Gulf of Asinara, with its wine-growing heart centred between Sorso and Sennori and a landscape that stretches towards Castelsardo, Valledoria and Osilo. The territory forms a natural amphitheatre facing the sea, where hills, plateaus and coastal plains make up an agricultural mosaic characterised by vineyards, olive groves and Mediterranean scrub.
The bright, dry Mediterranean climate is tempered by the proximity of the sea and constant breezes, a vital factor during the ripening of the grapes. The breezes from the Gulf of Asinara help to keep the vine canopies well-ventilated and promote balanced viticulture, whilst the varied exposures and altitudes broaden the range of oenological expressions. Geology also plays a part in shaping the landscape: the limestone hills of Sorso and Sennori give way to the sandy soils of the coastal strip, with clayey and alluvial areas adding further nuances to the terroir.
The grape variety tradition includes varieties common in northern Sardinia and grapes linked to local history, such as Moscato, Cannonau, Vermentino, Pascale and Zirone. The result is a diverse range of wines that capture the essence of the region through white, red and rosé wines, as well as sparkling wines, novelli, passito wines and those made from overripe grapes. The whites often highlight freshness, savouriness and Mediterranean aromas; the reds express warmth, structure and character; whilst the sweet wines, on the other hand, highlight the aromatic profile and the ripeness of the grapes.
The winemaking process combines traditional methods with contemporary techniques, focusing on bringing out the best in individual plots, harvesting the grapes at the optimum moment and preserving the varietal identity. In Romangia, wine is thus born from the interplay of the sea, the wind, sun-drenched soils and a deeply rooted farming culture.
