“Our history stretches way back, to when time was marked by the passing of the seasons, and the farmworkers of the countryside of Alghero had nothing to rely on but the soil and their own ingenuity.
It is a story that speaks of the ability to trust one another, and of the desire to build something great, without forgetting how much beauty and how much value are hidden away in what surrounds us: endless plains facing out to sea, sheltered by a cove between the Gulf of Alghero and the Bay of Porto Conte. These are fortunate lands, caressed by the wind and kissed by the sun. It is a story that speaks of the precious lessons learned through daily toil. This story, our story, starts very long ago and lasts all the way to today. At Santa Maria la Palma, there are no counts, barons or marquises. Instead, there are lots of families of winemakers and farmworkers. Fifty years ago, they were allocated a series of uncultivated plots near the city of Alghero. Rather than a silver spoon, they had strong arms, straight backs, passion and principles.”

1st Course
Seafood Cous Cous

Wine-Aragosta Vermentino di Sardegna DOC

“Colour: pale straw-yellow with soft hints of green.
Bouquet: its winy aroma is well-balanced, delicate though distinct, with a fresh fragrance, reminiscent of ripe apples.
Flavour: harmonious, dry but not harsh, crisp and rather lively, with a pleasantly lingering aftertaste of almonds.”

2nd Course
Lasagna Bolognese

Wine-Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce, Emilia Romanga DOC

“Bright ruby color, with purple hues, the aromas project ripe red berry, including strawberry and raspberry jam. In the mouth, coffee, spices and herbs, including an aroma of violets, plummy fruit flavours and aristocratic oak overtone. Full, round, fruit forward, consumer friendly taste profile. Oak aged for two years in large Slavonian casks with several additional months in the bottle. Medium-bodied for food-friendly matchings.”
