Our adventure with the Nuraghi Tour begins in Orosei. We start on board our 4×4 vehicles and explore the beautiful central-eastern coast of Sardinia to discover its thousand-year-old history, but also to focus on its food and wine culture.
We cross the Orosei countryside to reach the unspoilt wetlands of the “Su Barone, characterised by a lush pine forest that frames the extensive sandy shore, interrupted only to the south by the limestone cliffs of the Gulf of Orosei and marked by the wonderful emerald colour of the sea.
The wetlands are extremely rich in biodiversity and are therefore protected by numerous international conventions. Here you can observe the rich marshland avifauna consisting of white and grey herons, little egrets, skilful cormorants, moorhens and numerous migratory species such as pink flamingos or the noisy black-winged stilts. The enchanting atmosphere of this corner of paradise takes on a very romantic, almost nostalgic air when we come across traditional fishponds or groups of local fishermen harvesting clams.
After a short break to observe and learn more about the area, we set off towards the “Nuraghe Gulunie di Osalla”, one of the best preserved in the Orosei area and the only one with similar views of the sea in the Gulf of Orosei. From its strategic position there is a breathtaking view, encompassing the coast to the north as far as the mouth of the Cedrino river and to the south as far as the little jewel of Osala di Dorgali beach.
Enchanted by such beauty, we reach a farm in the Orosei countryside. Its winery is a precious guardian of local wine traditions, whose owner will have the pleasure of accompanying us on a walk through the rows of vines.
Among the rows of vines, we will have the opportunity to experience first-hand his passion for the cultivation of the Cannonau grape, creator of the homonymous and famous oenological excellence of Sardinia.
The tasting of a good glass of red, white or rosé wine is a must, accompanied by their home-made products such as bread, oil and honey. The many anecdotes linked to the rural tradition and a lot of fun will conclude this beautiful day we spent together. To round off the day even better, you can also buy various local delicacies such as wine, oil and honey produced on the farm.
