Azienda Vitivinicola Emidio Oggianu

The Azienda Vitivinicola Emidio Oggianu is a family Malvasia di Bosa winery in the countryside of Magomadas, in the Planargia. It was founded by Angelo Oggianu in 1956 with a small vineyard in the Badde Nuraghe area, planted with Malvasia from the start. His son Emidio has run it since 1968; on retiring from his job on the railways he bought the neighbouring vineyards and replanted it, and today he runs it with his son Stefano. It has been registered in the designation of origin since 2000.

How they work

It is a small winery, of about two hectares, almost all Sardinian Malvasia, with a plot of vermentino since 2019. They thin the bunches until four are left per vine, harvest in October in four passes, press gently and ferment with yeasts from their own grapes. The wine ages in small, old chestnut and oak barrels, which are what they show off most in the winery. They make the Malvasia, a Malvasia spirit and a vermentino white, the Lunai.

Visits

They receive guided visits through the vineyard and cellar with a final tasting, led by Emidio himself, and large groups by reservation, even by coach. On Winedering they sell a tasting from €30 per person (one hour, minimum two) and a private tasting of five wines with pairing at €60 per adult, of an hour and a half, in Italian or English. They also have two apartments with sea views on the estate.
