History
Viticulture on Sardinia dates to Phoenician and Roman trade routes; many local wineries continue techniques adapted over centuries to the island's limestone soils and maritime climate.
Conservation
Small Sardinian wineries often practice low-intervention viticulture; visitors should stick to paths, avoid trampling vines and support producers that use sustainable water and land practices.
