TALES FROM THE WINERY

We liked the idea or Thesys (theory) of the western grape, Bovale, in Sardinia… combined with the theory of Atlantis-Sardinia. Departing and landing ports…the ancient city of Tiro in the middle east and the western Tiro in our island.

…is only a legend but so fascinating, as well as the coastal border south west of Sardinia, our sea, designed on the label…
