Vinicola Cherchi

It all started back in 1970 from the dedication and passion of a winemaker who firmly believes in his dream to make the typical wines of Usini known and its territory with unique characteristics. Giovanni Cherchi , known as Billia, started the company in 1970 and dedicated himself to the cultivation of the two hectares of vineyards received as an inheritance once. His project is very ambitious : to produce quality wines that know how to tell the strength and soul of an authentic territory with foresight and wisdom, desire for knowledge and experimentation , the patriarch Giovanni Cherchi brings to light and an ancient native grape variety, the Cagnulari. Considered a pioneer of Sardinian viticulture , not only for the rediscovering of the Cagnulari grape, but also thanks to his work to enhance the qualities of Vermentino. In the north west of Sardinia there is a hospitable County that was always been known as a place where good wine is made. Usini is a town in the province of Sassari, nestled on the hills of Logudoro. The vineyards are located on limestone and clay soils about 200 meters above sea level. The company property covers about 30 hectares , 60 % dedicated to Vermentino, 35% to Cagnulari and the remaining part to Cannonau.
