Vigne Bentesali was born in 2014 in Sant Antico, an island located just off the west coast of Sardinia in the Sulcis-Iglesiente region. Bentasali produces wines from Carignano and Vermentino Franche di Piede vines with the original roots without resorting to American grafting. The Bentesali Vineyards Society is one of the founding members of the Carignano community of Piede Franco, established in 2021. The main purpose of the community is to promote and enhance Carignano wine and its derivative vineyards, planted in the context of Piede Franco on the island of Sant'Antioco.Vigne Bentesali
