Considered to be the islands leading co-operative, Dolianova makes some of the best wine that Sardinia has to offer and strives to safeguard the unique character the difficult climate gives to the wine. Established in 1949, the co-operative is in the town of Dolianova, in the province of Cagliari on the hillsides of the Panteolla region. This region is the centre of Sardinia wine with more than half the islands total production grown and bottled on the Campidano and the nearby hill. He co-operative has growers in the 5 communes of Panteolla with a total of 600 members and over 1,000 hectares. All of the vineyards are on hillsides and the co-operative insists that yield per hectare is kept to no higher than 80 quintals per hectare. The San Panteleo line from this Cantine offers excellent and consistent Cannonau, Monica, Nuragus and Vermentino. The most recent vintages have seen a direction change in terms of winemaking styles and technologies utilised with an emphasis on crisp, clean, intense fruit flavours.
