Li Signori

Set in the raw, untamed beauty of Alto Gallura in northern Sardinia, just above the village of Aglientu, Li Signori is a visionary new project bought to life by three long-standing friends; an ode to nature, biodiversity, sustainability, friendship, and a deep passion for wine. Here, amidst dense Mediterranean brush, rugged granite rocks, vast olive groves, and fields of lavender, the landscape is wild and unspoilt, boasting flora and fauna in abundance. Basking in the hot sun and swept by strong coastal winds, it radiates an energy that cannot be penned.

The name Li Signori derives from a distinctive granite hill and particular rock formation that serves as a natural landmark on the estate, offering panoramic views of the surrounding wildlands and vineyards. Since beginning work on the land in 2017, it has grown into a 500-hectare estate, with 24 hectares now dedicated to vineyards and the aim to reach 48 hectares in total, all planted on their distinct sandy soils with granite rock. The grape varieties cultivated include Vermentino, Carignano, Cannonau, Syrah, Merlot, Touriga Nacional, and Marselan.

The estate is fully committed to preserving its exceptional biodiversity and minimising environmental impact. It has achieved Equalitas Certification and is on track for full Organic Certification by 2028. Other sustainable practices include the use of lightweight bottles made from 80–90% recycled glass, natural cork sourced from a cork forest just eight miles away, eco-sustainable packaging, and fully recycled waste.

Prominent consultant winemaker Andrea Pala takes the helm at the winery, leading this custom-built, state-of-the-art, gravity-fed operation. In the cellar, a variety of materials are used for ageing the wines, including oak and acacia barriques, tonneaux, concrete, and stainless steel. The resulting wines are fresh and expressive and reflect the complexity and aromatic richness of Alto Gallura’s terroir.
