Jerzu Antichi Poderi is a winery in Ogliastra, Sardinia, founded in 1950: a "distributed winery," whose strength springs from the collective spirit of a community of passionate families, who over the centuries have wrested vines from the earth where nature is at its harshest and most rugged. It is born of an age-old history that dates back to the 12th century.

For Jerzu, wine is the thread that binds generations to one another and to a shared project, and the winery is both a community anchor and an ambassador for the land. Ogliastra, the land of centenarians, is an island within the island where the sea meets the mountains: over a 700-meter change in elevation, very different ecosystems and landscapes follow one another, so much so that while up high the first clusters are forming, down in the valley thinning is already underway.

In collaboration with research institutes, the winery has identified nine sub-areas with distinctive characteristics, each with vineyards homogeneous in age, yield, and altitude. This zoning makes it possible to choose the most suitable vinification for each component. From vineyards at 600 meters comes Josto Miglior, Cannonau di Sardegna DOC Riserva with an intense bouquet; at 500 meters, Chuerra, a full-bodied Cannonau Riserva; at 400 meters, Marghia, a Cannonau with aromas of blackberry and small wild berries.

The winery embraces sharing, with tastings that become journeys through history and traditions, and it supports the local culture with exhibitions and events. Alongside Cannonau it produces Vermentino and other great reds of Ogliastra.

With its high-altitude Cannonau, Jerzu Antichi Poderi conveys the truest spirit of Ogliastra.
