The Sardinian Semidana cultivar can be mainly found in the central-southern area of the island, around Oristano; its production area is similar to that of the Semidano wine. Samidana shares many similarities with another typical Sardinian cultivar, the most cultivated on the island, the Bosana – in fact, Semidana sprouts and blooms in the same period and at the same rhythm as the Bosana. The name Semidana is reminiscent of the “Semidas”, the ancient walkways which crossed the olive groves. Semidana has a late-ripening, it is resistant to main external agents, and has a good oil yield; its bitterness and pungency tones are balanced.
The producer's reserve is a delicate EVO oil characterized by vegetable and fruity flavours, and dried fruit aromas. Discover more on our review or buy it on our shop.
Sardinia lands have been dedicated to olive cultivation for millennia, and we can only be happy that especially in recent times this vocation has also been a synonym of high quality. Gran Riserva Giuseppe Fois is a perfect example of this union.
