Alvarega wine comes from pure Malvasia di Sardegna grapes. The Columbu family's approach has always been to respect nature, no chemicals or synthetic products are used.
Harvest is manual with sorting in the field. Whole bunch spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts in stainless steel. Bottling takes place in March following the harvest, with further aging in the glass before release.
Giovanni Battista Columbu was one of the protagonists of the documentary Mondovino, filmed by Jonathan Nossiter, in which the life stories of a number of small-scale artisanal winemakers were traced.
