  • Malvasia di Bosa

    the Malvasia vine has Greek origins and was introduced to Sardinia by the Benedictine Monks. Although production of the Malvasia di Bosa wine is limited, it is particularly appreciated by connoisseurs for its quality, which derives from the characteristics of the land where the vine is cultivated. The wine is left to age for two years. There are various types of Malvasia di Bosa: natural sweet, strong sweet, strong dry, dry.

Liqueurs:

sweet and bitter after dinner drinks, as well as distilled liqueurs made from myrtle berries and lemons and Su fil'e ferru (Sardinian brandy, or 'acqua vite').

The latter gets its name from the custom that farmers had of burying the illegally produced home-made brandy and then marking the spot by sticking a piece of wire into the ground.
