Valle del Tirso
Wine · PGI · 16 municipalities
Unlike other Sardinian wine designations, the Valle del Tirso IGT, established in 1999, enforces a highly specific labeling restriction: ten major regional grapes, including Cannonau, Vermentino, and Malvasia, are explicitly prohibited from single-varietal labeling, though they remain permitted in the base blends. Spanning 16 municipalities in the Oristano province, including Cabras and Baratili San Pietro, the appellation permits a maximum yield of 18.0 tonnes per hectare. These dry-to-sweet wines have a minimum alcohol content of 10.0% vol, though this can be reduced by 0.5% in unfavorable vintages. Currently, the denomination registers zero verified producers.
