Multiple excavation campaigns conducted in various archaeological sites in Sardinia have brought to light carbonized grape seeds dating back to 1,300 BC. which testify to the presence of an established wine culture in Sardinia prior to the entrance of the Phoenicians (9th-8th century BC), to which the introduction of the first domestic vines on the island was derived. Various “wine” containers have been found that characterize the extremely rich and original vascular repertoire, with the typical askoid jugs and small “askos” in iron, bronze and ceramic of fine workmanship. Dozens of wine amphorae for transport have been found from the Imperial and Late Ancient Roman Age. As evidence of the continuity of cultivation of the vine in the area for a few millennia, it is appropriate to report the entry of a record of the expenses of the Vatican Archive, from the early 1600s, in which the purchase of white Telavé wine from the village is mentioned by Triei. During the Giudicato period (900 - 1400) the first rules were issued to protect agricultural crops, also present in the "Carta de Logu" of Eleonora di Arborea (1392), a legislative code which remained in force until the Piedmontese period. The use of wild grapes by Sardinians is confirmed by the Carta de Logu itself, which also contains provisions against the trade of wild grapes. Seller and buyer could have serious problems: financial penalty and imprisonment "a voluntadi nostra", that is, of the king. Various toponyms in use in Sardinia refer to the vine, there are many dialectal synonyms of evident Latin origin, such as "su laccu" for the pressing tank and "pastinai sa bingia" in the sense of planting a new vineyard. In the early 1300s in medieval times Sardinia was under Pisan domination and Sarrabus and Ogliastra were identified by the new rulers as wine tanks. There is no shortage of news on the quantity, quality and origin of the wines in the capital of the kingdom between the 15th and 15th centuries, the supply flows outline two currents: one from the countryside to the city; the other of navigated wine introduced into the city through the port. The surrounding countryside and the more or less close villas, when the war was not raging, fed Cagliari with must and stuffed wine, the generic white and red Sardinian. A few centuries later, Bacci, in 1596, wrote about the Sardinians' habit of producing wine from wild vines. The historian Angius, in the eighteenth century, narrates that the "jump of Nurri could in some opinion be a region where the vine was indigenous; thus it is scattered throughout and with so much prosperity by handing over this spurra,…, bunches of colorful and delicious grapes. It is found in all parts climbing to other plants, and mainly on the very pleasant banks of the rivers. " In 1746 a large historical geographical report drawn up by the General Intendant of the Kingdom, Francesco Giuseppe de la Perrière count of Viry gave a detailed description of rural Sardinia proposing the image of a viticulture capillary widespread in different areas of the island. Molecular biology studies that allowed to establish the genetic relationships between the domestic vine (Vitis vinifera L. ssp. Sativa) and its progenitor wild vine (Vitis vinifera L. ssp. Sylvestris), widespread still today along the waterways. Shared genetic traits (microsatellite alleles) between the wild vine and some local cultivars (the Muristellu very common in the Nuoro area) suggest a relationship of kinship between the two subspecies and support the hypothesis of a secondary domestication center in Sardinia. Episodes of domestication of wild vines by winemakers have been identified by CRAS (the Regional Agricultural Experimental Center of the Sardinia Region) now merged into AGRIS Sardinia (the Agency for Agricultural Research of Sardinia). The particular quality of Sardinian wines has long been known.
