Thanks to the wine-making skill and dedication of the vintners of Monti, over the years the land became dotted with many small vineyards. And, in July 1956, 22 farsighted winemakers, in order to guarantee correct processing of harvested grapes created the Cantina Sociale del Vermentino whose name pays tribute to the noblest of Gallura grapes. The Winery has today 350 members who cultivate vineyards in the territories of Monti, Telti, Olbia, Loiri and Porto San Paolo, for a total of 500 hectares, delivering selected grapes yielding elegant, stylish and original wines. The Winery, immersed in three hectares of oak woods is where the entire production cycle unfolds, from delicate crushing and stemming down to storage of the wine in controlled temperature cellars.
