QUARTOMORO (Italy, Sardegna, Arborea)
BACKGROUND: Quartomoro (the Forth Morish) was initially created as an "experimental
garage winery" a decade ago, and it slowly became a place where great terroir driven
wines are produced by offering an evolving selection subdivided in different wine ranges
and with a distinctive production of experimental micro-vinifications. The winery is
located in Arborea in the Oristano province on the west coast facing the Mediterranean
and the Balearic Islands. The mission is pretty simple to explain: producing wines that
best represent one of the most interesting territories in terms of biodiversity which is
Sardinia as a whole region. Tough job indeed because Sardinia is the 3rd largest Italian
region. The winery always regards the heritage of minimal intervention in the vineyard
and in the winery by respecting the natural
winemaking process.

Piero Cella and Luciana Baso are a couple
sharing love, time and tasks here. Piero has
lived and breathed wine culture since he was a
child. He became an oenologist and he loves
his everyday winery job. Curious and never
satisfied by his results, he always aims to
improve himself. The passion and the sense of
duty, the field research and the love for the
wine world: these are the elements that keep
him going. Piero has been long time right arm
of Giacomo Tachis (1933 - 2016), most likely
top 5 hall of fame oenologist in Italy. Just
think of Tignanello, Solaia and Sassicaia and
you'll find Piero's footprint in these famed,
limited
and
pricey bottles.
Luciana worked for many years as a teacher
but at the same time she was always linked
with the wine world due to her family
traditions. She used to spend lots of time with
her grandfather, who owned a vineyard. After
meeting Piero, she was given the opportunity
of fully reviving her memories of her childhood
life spent among vines and wine must aromas.
The couple has two kids.
A RELENTLESS EFFORT: "Our emotional bond
with the wines and the territory and our
memories of long walks through vineyards, together with great wine-tasting
experiences, has led us finally to realise our dream: Quartomoro di Sardegna. It was a
real challenge for us, but we are really proud to have created this evolving regional
chateau garage". As Piero says his long time oenologist experience in all Sardinia took
him to drive to all the four corners of this almost rectangular shaped region. Many wine
experts have written a lot about the great vocation for viticulture in Sardinia which
hosts several geographical wine areas. Each of them is different in terms of soil, climate
and grape varieties cultivated and this has been an endless source of inspiration. With
very limited property vineyards, Quartomoro has decided to invest in time and research
as Piero and Luciana have long time relations with many small family managed vineyards
scattered throughout the island. The fragmented picture's numbers epitomise the hugeView entire presentation
