Canonnau wine and Pecorino cheese tasting in Dorgali

Canonnau red, wine of the centenarians

This tour is centered around two local products, Pecorino sheep cheese, and the Cannonau red wine that are typical for the Barbagia area. We start the morning with a visit of a working farm, where they have cows and sheep, here we’ll get a demonstration how fresh ricotta is made. After the demonstration of cheese making we’ll taste some different types of cheeses that they produce on the farm..

Next we visit the Oddoene valley

The Oddoene valley is a beautiful valley dotted with small patches of vinyards and olive groves, just south of Dorgali. Due to the mix of soil and the climatical conditions this valley is an excellent terroir where some of Dorgali’s most important Cannonau wines are produced.

The vinyard we’ll visit has a name for making excquisite quality wines. They cultivate 3 types of red grapes here; Cannonau, Muristellu and Carignano. We’ll explain you all about the vinyard before you get the chance to taste 3 different wines.

For lunch we continue to Baddore’s typical shepherds hut.

Baddore is sardinian for Salvatore, also Baddore produces his own Cannonau and we’ll surely get a chance to try it.

Lunch consists of an appetizer of sausage and olives, as a first course there is a typical dish called Pane frattau, this is made with the Carasau bread, cheese, tomato sauce and an egg. As a side dish there’s a salad, and for dessert there are local cakes and coffee.
