Surrau Società Agricola: S.P. Porto Cervo – Arzachena-Località Chilvagghja-07021 Arzachena (SS)
We are in Arzachena, in the heart of north-eastern Sardinia. Here, Vigne Surrau cultivates its vineyards in a unique landscape shaped by spectacular granite outcrops and constantly caressed by sea breezes. The granite-rich soil, poor yet packed with minerals, forces the vines to send their roots deep underground. This beneficial struggle results in concentrated and highly aromatic grapes. An interesting anecdote concerns the granite of this area, historically used by local stonemasons to build the traditional Gallurese “stazzi”. Today, that same mineral element that once protected shepherds gives the wine its unmistakable backbone and remarkable longevity. The designation “Superiore” indicates a wine produced from lower vineyard yields and riper fruit, factors that guarantee exceptional structure and aromatic complexity. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo strict selection using a state-of-the-art automatic berry sorter. This machine removes leaves and any berries that are not perfectly ripe. The must then undergoes a short cold maceration on the skins, followed by fermentation in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The true secret of its texture lies in the approximately four months of aging in stainless steel. During this period, the wine rests on its fine lees and is regularly stirred through bâtonnage, gaining softness and volume. In the glass it displays a bright straw-yellow colour enhanced by youthful green reflections. On the nose it is rich and sun-filled, with notes of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, perfectly integrated with hints of sage, rosemary and a distinctive chalky minerality. On the palate it impresses with its perfect balance: soft and almost enveloping, yet immediately lifted by citrus freshness and a maritime salinity that commands attention. The finish is clean, remarkably long and perfectly consistent. It pairs beautifully with structured seafood dishes.
Gallura is a corner of Sardinia where the Mistral wind cleanses the air and granite shapes a landscape of rare and untamed beauty. Here, just a few minutes from the crystal-clear waters of the Costa Smeralda and at the gateway to Arzachena, lies Vigne Surrau. This winery was not born from generations of farming tradition but from a contemporary vision. In the early 2000s, the Demuro family – well-known local entrepreneurs – decided to breathe new life into an enchanting valley rich in natural springs, once linked to the culture of the historic Gallurese “stazzi”. What began as an emotional bond with their homeland evolved into an innovative wine project that now extends across approximately 70 hectares divided into different vineyard plots. Driving along the roads connecting Arzachena and Porto Cervo, it is impossible not to miss the winery. The Vigne Surrau estate is a true architectural masterpiece: an elegant combination of wood, glass and local stone blending seamlessly into the surrounding hills. Designed according to sustainability and energy-efficiency principles, it is not only a technologically advanced production facility but also a cultural space. Between stainless-steel tanks and the underground barrel cellar, visitors can find art exhibitions, photography displays and conferences. The estate vineyards are rooted in sandy soils formed by the millennia-long decomposition of granite. This unique soil, together with strong day-to-night temperature variations and sea breezes carrying salt inland, gives the grapes a freshness and minerality that are impossible to replicate elsewhere.
