Azienda Agraria Paddeu

It was born in 2008 from my hands

I am, in fact, a craftsman worker, bricklayer born in the fields and vineyards of Mamoiada my countryThat year with the help of my family and with a couple of hectares of land that came to me by inheritance, I plant a vineyard

Refuse the "cuttings" on the market, and passionate about the history of a well-known Sardinian farm, I put on the ground with the cuttings system about 8000 branches of Canonau vine, always cultivated in my countryA system that I consider innovative, as it perfectly respects the territory, and keeps tradition, culture and identity in order (with the facts), in a historical moment of confusion and approval8000 plants on a straight foot, that is without the intruder American footWithin 3 years the new plants are already in maximum production, with a quality of grape superior to that of the vine cuttings grafted on an American foot and comparable to that of the old vineyards

At the same time I adapt a part of my house to a "cellar" and certify it according to the lawFrom the grapes harvested from the vineyard I make wine in my cellar; dynamic, at the same time traditional, but above all free from all schemes

I gave him the name of Minneddu (diminutive of the name of my maternal grandfather who was also a craftsman, peasant and cooper)Minneddu right now appears to the world as an innovative wine: natural, traditional and artisanalTo do this I do not filter and do not use "breeding" ferments, but only the indigenous ones "in the wild"And I don't add preservatives because the only way to taste natural wine is to drink it vintage when it is "made", young it is healthy and do not keep it by force
