Torbato

The Torbato grape is cultivated in the area of Alghero in Sardinia and is of undoubted Spanish origin, having been imported during the Catalan domination. In fact, the variety is also known as Vitis Iberian and with dialect names such as Uva catalana or Turbat.

In the surroundings of Alghero, where the soils is calcareous and argillaceous and the climate warm and dry - perfectly suited to this grape variety - the Torbato grape occupies an area of just about 90 hectares.
