PALA, Serdiana since 1950

The Pala family’s winemaking journey began in 1950 with Salvatore Pala in the small town Serdiana, in the southwest of Sardegna. In the fall of 2024, Lia Tolaini-Banville became the owner of Pala.

A New Chapter

As a winery owner, I have always believed that great wines begin with a deep connection to the land. That’s why I’ve chosen to champion the rich, untamed terroir of Sardegna—an island whose vines have been nurtured by centuries of history and tradition. It is here, amidst the rugged landscapes and the Mediterranean climate, that I’ve found a place unlike any other—one that not only produces exceptional wines but tells the story of a unique island, its people, and its heritage. This is a dream that has been in the making for over 10 years: to produce wines that are made from these world-class indigenous varietals and to represent the land of Sardegna on the world stage.

Lutte Raisonnée

The island’s natural conditions—such as abundant sunlight, strong coastal winds, and minimal rainfall—create an environment that inherently supports organic farming practices. These factors help reduce the prevalence of pests and diseases, limiting the need for chemical treatments.

Autochthonous grape varieties, such as Bovale, Nasco, Nuragus, Monica, Vermentino, and Cannonau are well-adapted to the local climate, soil, and ecosystem. They have evolved alongside local pests and diseases, making them more resilient.

The island of Sardegna’s biodiversity supports a diverse ecosystem that promotes natural pest control. As well, it ensures cleaner water resources for irrigation and overall, more resilient soils that are rich in organic matter.

A naturally untouched landscape provides an environment for organic viticulture. Supporting healthier ecosystems, better soil and water quality, and ultimately the production of high-quality, organic wines.

Pala's Vineyards

Pala vineyards are divided in eight different single ones. Some of them are really close to the cellar, some other one are far. Different terroirs, the best exposure, and the best soil type are adapted to the different grape varieties. Form the town of Serdiana, where Pala has its cellar and where the limestone in a rolling hill area is common to the municipalities of Ussana and Senorbì with again limeston and marnes. The farest ones are in the municipalities of Uras, Terralba and San Nicolò d’Arcidano in the central western coast of the island, this vineyards are planted in white sands.
