The story
Cantina Li Duni's production project has been active since 2003 and aims to preserve and enhance the local winemaking tradition of Badesi. The winery revives traditional practices and native grape varieties cultivated on sandy soils, continuing the region's winemaking heritage.
Production philosophy
Practices focused on respect for the land: predominant use of estate-grown grapes, hand harvesting, reduced use of pesticides thanks to sandy soils, and attention to characterizing the wines through indigenous grape varieties and own-rooted vineyards.
Terroir and vineyards
Situated on the hills that slope down towards the Gulf of Asinara, the winery cultivates vineyards on sandy soils near the coast; the maritime microclimate, saline breezes and diurnal temperature range contribute to the wines' sensory characteristics.
