Uri

In the rolling limestone hinterland of Sassari, where a compact community of fewer than three thousand residents shapes the agricultural landscape of northwest Sardinia, Uri nurtures 17 protected food and wine denominations. This limestone-rich terroir is crucial for the prestigious Alghero DOC, a highly localized wine designation limited to a zone of 8 municipalities. Vineyards here also feed the specialized Nurra IGT, restricted to a tight zone of 10. These coastal-influenced soils yield characterful wines alongside the spiky Carciofo Spinoso di Sardegna DOP, making this small Sardinian enclave a concentrated hotspot of Mediterranean flavors.
