From the trip to Milan for the "Wine Week" , a ten-day event where wine companies from all over Italy met sector operators, the representatives of the Malvasia di Bosa consortium returned with renewed enthusiasm. It was important to take part in a specialized event where the main players of a world that is growing disproportionately meet, and in which Planargia is also trying to acquire prestigious market shares.
The director and oenologist Aldo Buiani was present for the Malvasia di Bosa consortium and presented the wines of six member companies of the consortium .
«Wines that we had the opportunity to let buyers taste - highlights Buiani - through masterclasses, tastings combined with knowledge of culture and territory. Furthermore, there was an in-depth study entitled "The wines and vines of the west coast of Sardinia" where two Malvasia di Bosa, a sweet sparkling wine and a sweet still wine, were offered to a large and qualified audience of professionals".
The Milanese showcase was also an opportunity to promote the entire production territory of the seven municipalities of Planargia: Bosa, Magomadas, Modolo, Tresnuraghes, Flussio, Suni and Tinnura . Vineyards that develop in highly calcareous subsoils which give this type of cultivation one of its peculiar characteristics. And on the other hand, the recent data provided by the Laore Agency are really interesting.
The suitable cultivated area recognized in the DOC is approximately 25 hectares, while the certified wine is 161.00 litres. The companies, almost exclusively family-run, operate in an area of 112 hectares divided as follows : 47 in Magomadas, 43 in Bosa, 14.90 in Modolo, 1.33 in Tresnuraghes, 4.58 in Flussio, 2.09 in Suni. The ambition of the protection consortium, however, is that the Malvasia di Bosa DOC, together with its rural landscapes, become a UNESCO and human world heritage site .
«The request had not been sent – explains director Aldo Buiani – because when the mayors had to sign the partnership to set up the promoting committee there was the Covid lockdown. It is a project that should be proposed again as soon as possible. On the other hand - underlines Buiani - the precious vine has been cultivated for over fifteen centuries. The grafts were brought by the Byzantines, under whose empire the island remained for a few centuries until the birth of the four Sardinian Giudicati. And it is precisely under Gonario di Torres that the Templars, returning from Jerusalem to Europe, organized its production for commercial purposes in the village of Bosa and in the surrounding territories".
