  1. Mamoiada
    5h
    In the heart of Barbagia di Ollolai, between the landscapes of Gennargentu and Supramonte, lies Mamoiada, an authentic village of about 2,500 inhabitants. The surrounding area is shaped by rolling granite hills and ancient transhumance routes, now transformed into picturesque trekking and biking trails. Here, nature also expresses itself through the intense aromas of the vineyards surrounding the village, which produce distinctive wines such as Cannonau and Granazza, pure expressions of the local winemaking tradition.
