Mother of Great Wines

​Romangia. The land of the Romans.
This is the region where our vines are grown, on the Gulf of Asinara overlooking the Asinara Island and towards the sunset. Here used to pass the road that led to the port of the colony of Turris Libisonis, here the Romans cultivated vines and olive trees and transported their products to be shipped.
After two thousand years the countryside is still intact, and the cultivations are the same. In memory of those times, just a few steps from the vines, are the remains of the Roman villa Santa Filitica. The villa, at the time of the emperors, had an intricate thermal system. One of its floors depicts a mosaic image of the Bacchus, crowned by grapes and vines. It is difficult to find a more explicit sign that this land is the mother of great wines.
As Giacomo Tachis said, the great oenologist who helped us to give birth to our vineyards. You need to study the light to understand where to plant each stalk. The light of our vineyards, eighty hectares in front of the sea, is the light of the sun of Sardinia and the light reflected by the Mediterranean sea. The action of the light, together with the sea breezes and the mineral richness of its soil, makes the grapes one of a kind, strong-headed and well-defined. Sun, sea, and wind. This is how great wines are born in this land.

Traditional Winegrowers – In the center of Sardinia
In a village where winemaking is a trade rooted for centuries, habits of the past return naturally in the midst of our unique vineyards, irreproducible elsewhere.
Fradiles – Sardinian for ‘cousins’ – has its origins in bonds of kinship rooted here, in the centre of Sardinia. A revaluation of the ancient family firm has brought back our vision and passion for the winegrowers’ culture.
