WINERY OVERVIEW: “The Demura family have been making wine for generations in Sardinia, and growing up Tino Demura would work summers in their vineyard alongside his eleven brothers and sisters. At the time the wine made from the family land was for family consumption. After earning successes in the business world, Tino became fixated on the balancing relationship between construction and nature. He had a vision that a wine estate would be able to represent the beauty of nature through man's hand, and thus in 2001, he decided to invest in land all throughout the Arzachena to create Vigne Surrau.”
