THE WINE OF OUR HOME RESTAURANT IN OGLIASTRA
Rabdomante
Some people have the magic touch to sense the energy bursting from the heart of the earth. This same energy nourishes the vines, making every grape a precious gift. With these skilled and attentive hands, we turn that fruit into a true nectar of the Gods: Il Rabdomante.
A wine that captures the strength of the earth and the mystery of its ancient connection to mankind. Each glass reveals the essence of our land, a journey through flavours and aromas that tell the story of Ogliastra.
Fudòra
Fudòra is born from vineyards rooted in the granite soils of Cardedu, absorbing the sun and scents of this unique land. A ruby red wine, with an intriguing bouquet of vanilla, cinnamon, and ripe plum, enriched by hints of herbs like bay leaf. On the palate, the balance between bold tannins and lively acidity combines with a full-bodied richness and characteristic alcohol. An authentic Cannonau, evolving with elegance, embodying the strength and freshness of Sardinia.
Olive Oils
At our Home Restaurant in Jerzu, every detail is designed to offer you an authentic Sardinian culinary experience, and nothing represents our connection to the land better than our organic olive oils, made with passion and dedication: SaPè and Su Connottu.
SaPè
SaPè comes from our olive groves in Sarrala and Pelau, each with its own story and deep connection to the land. The oil produced in Sarrala is certified organic, ensuring an environmentally friendly and traditional cultivation process. In Pelau, although not certified, the oil still follows organic practices, preserving the purity and natural essence of our land.
Every drop of SaPè captures the essence of Ogliastra: the olive trees thrive under the warm sun and winds that shape the landscape. The result is an intense and aromatic oil, perfect for complementing the genuine flavours of Sardinian cuisine. SaPè is the oil we use for every dish in our restaurant, bringing the authentic and unmistakable taste of our land to your table.
Su Connottu
Su Connottu, produced in the olive grove of Pelau in the Sa Spadula area, tells a family story. The name “Su Connottu” means “the known,” a nod to the ancient knowledge passed down through generations. My mother’s grandparents had an olive mill, and this oil is a tribute to their tradition and expertise.
We are also proud members of the Tertenia olive mill, where our olives are carefully processed using traditional methods. This allows us to ensure the highest quality oil, respecting both traditional and sustainable practices.
Su Connottu has a bold flavour, perfect for enhancing the most authentic dishes of our cuisine. Every drop is a journey through my family’s history, our territory, and the culture that makes us unique. Serving it in our Home Restaurant in Jerzu is an act of pride and gratitude towards our land.
