Our Orchard
Tenute Monte Astili - A wine-growing area spoilt by nature
Our terroir is diverse throughout the estate with an altitude ranging from 150 meters above sea level at the lowest part to almost 400 meters at the highest point. The land is extremely fertile, and the landscape is lush with greenery.
The vineyard is surrounded by several types of fauna and a natural forest of Mediterranean scrub and orchards such as olives, almonds, peaches, figs, oranges, plums, and pears.
We are currently growing our orchard by adding a vegetables garden. We believe in working harmoniously with nature to produce the highest quality ingredients for our wines and food. Our orchard is flourishing with an abundance of seasonal fruits, while our vegetable garden will soon yield a variety of fresh, organic vegetables.
As we continue to expand our agricultural practices, we are implementing composting techniques and natural pest control methods to ensure the health of our soil and crops. By supporting biodiversity and ecological balance, we are able to create a thriving ecosystem that enhances the flavors of our wines and cuisine.
Through our commitment to organic farming and sustainable practices, we hope to inspire others to prioritize environmental stewardship in their own lives. With each sip of our wine and bite of our food, we hope to showcase the beauty and importance of working in harmony with the land.
Growing a Food Forest
Seasonally, we work on growing our garden by planting fruits and vegetables that are indigenous to the island or that do thrive in the Mediterranean climate of Sardinia.
As we stroll around our organic yard, our senses indulge with vibrant patterns, fresh and organic greens, tasty seasonal fruits and vegetables. More than just an enchanting moment, is a true ode to Sardinia's blue zone.
