BIO
So, in 1998 they started their personal journey, walking in a very small family vineyard, attaching different color strings to the old vines in order to select the old clones and nurse new old clone vines, to replant them. Today they have 4 hectares and they keep slowly enlarging their winery. Vermentino, Cannonau and Cagnulari are the indigenous grape varieties. While the first 2 varieties grow in all Sardinia, Cagnulari originally comes specifically from around Martis.
Interesting fact: there is the female Cagnulari, with thinner skin and more elegant structure and the male Cagnulari with thicker skin and more concentrate taste. Also, fun fact: everybody thinks that Cannonau was imported from Spain in the 14hundreds, but recent studies affirm that it is autochthonous from Sardinia and it is the most ancient grape in the all-Mediterranean area.
BIO
Binzamanna means ” big vineyard” in Sardinian dialect. Martis used to be a great place for vine growing, but after the70’s, when the Italian government paid the farmers to explain the vines, no wineries were left. Walter and Sara have a dream: to bring back vines where they belong.

Skin contact fermented Vermentino, aged 2 years in the bottle. A unique wine due to the soil with white rocks, the altitude and the constant breeze. Sip all the complexity and beauty of Sardinia in the glass!
Old clones of Cannonau fermented and aged in stainless steel. The clay and limestone soil grant a nice minerality on the finish, it recalls a grenache from the Rhone Valley
Cagnulari is a grape varietal which grows only in the Northwest side of Sardinia. The same grape varietal has two different types which in dialect they are called Female and Male.The Spanu is the male version: plums and red berries, bold and complex on the palate. Aged only in stainless steel
The female version of the Cagnulari. Deep red ruby color, dark fruits, cocoa, cherries on the nose, round and long on the palate, finish with a nice long lasting minerality. Aged for 10 months in 500ML French oak barrels.
