Vigne Surrau is a winery in Arzachena, in the Gallura part of northern Sardinia. The estate grows Vermentino, Cannonau, Carignano, Bovale, Cabernet, Syrah and Caricagiola across several vineyards.
The vineyards are split into separate sites. Chilvagghja covers 16 hectares of sandy soil formed from eroded granite, planted with Vermentino and Cannonau. Juannisolu is a single 15-hectare plot with five cultivars. At Spridda, 10 hectares are all Vermentino, and another 10 are left as Mediterranean maquis. Pastura and Andrea Gusi cover 13 hectares of Vermentino, Cannonau, Cabernet and Syrah.
The winery building has transparent facades and local stone walls that merge with the earth. It was built to use energy efficiently and to protect local biodiversity. The labels include Vermentino di Gallura DOCG and Cannonau di Sardegna DOC wines such as Sciala and Pentima.
