Vinery products:
The wines of the Oltremare winery come from a generous and fertile land, which gives them a unique taste, capable of conquering even the most demanding. The production is carried out respecting a modern method of cultivation and production, but at the same time attentive to traditions.
The wines are as follows:
– Cabernet – Sauvignon vine, native to the French region of Bordeaux, is one of the most widespread grape varieties in the world. The Sardinian Cabernet is a ruby red wine, intense, with a persistent scent and evident fruity notes, ideal for meat and cheese dishes
– Aglianico is a well-known red grape variety, mainly cultivated in southern Italy. The Sardinian vine, which develops in mainly sunny climates, allows to obtain a wine with a marked acidity, making it perfect with dishes with a strong taste, based on roast or braised meat
– Merlot grape variety is one of the most popular and widespread red berried varieties in the world. The Sardinian Merlot is a soft and harmonious wine, which goes well with first courses based on meat sauces or main courses of white and red meat roasted, grilled or with roasted meat
– Chardonnay is a white grape variety, international, cultivated in all areas of the world. Sardinian Chardonnay has fruity notes and a balanced acidity, ideal especially for fish dishes

Oltremare Island is not the classic Sardinian wine cellar, but it is first and foremost a family story. Following the purchase of a vineyard on the border between Sassari and Alghero, Cabernet, Chardonnay, Merlot and Aglianico are being produced: The result is a winery that in just a few years has become a benchmark in the production of quality wines in Sardinia.

The aperitif served during the experience includes: a board with local cold cuts and cheeses, jams and nuts, olives, vegetables in oil, omelets and pies with garden vegetables, caramelized onions, water, one glass of red wine and two of local white wine.
