Nuragus is an ancient local vine, which together with Cannonau represents the history and tradition of Sardinian viticulture. The production is concentrated in Cagliari and Oristano areas (98.5%). Its ripeness is late, especially in temperate zones. It’s a vigorous and pulpy grape, with large, dense and often winged bunches. The ripe peel recalls to Nasco grape, with a clear bright yellow color.
With any particular climatic needs, it fits well in various growing areas. It’s raised in espalier system. It reaches maturity in the second week of September, and in some cases the harvest is anticipated for the production of fresh and sparkling wines.
