The Papinello estate and winery are the result of three generations of Parpinello family passion for the vineyard and wine. From the start, the mission was to apply professional experience in order to enhance the quality of the grapes and thus produce wines with unique characteristics, using the most modern wine-making techniques. This rare business philosophy has produced a quality -oriented product, which fully respects its Sardinian origins. The company cultivate about 25 hectares of vines. The cellar is located in the locality named Janna de Mare and is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards that stretch out on a terrain of calcareous marne, conglomerate and sandstone, the perfect combination to ensure excellent quality wines.

Beautiful scenery with authentic Sardinia wines and olive oil. Clean and comfortable surroundings and tasting area. Guiliana B., our gracious host with her easy going manner and fine Italian accented English was both educational and inspirational. Started with sparkling Torbato, Vermentino white, then reds Monica, Cannonau Reserva, and Cagnulari. Sad to leave but left with six bottles of wine and lifetime of memories. Thank you!

The art gallery is sited inside the old Canopoleno Jesuit College built in 17th Century. It is part of the old town, and close to the most important historical buildings of the city. The adjacent Jesuit church of Gesù e Maria, now dedicated to Santa Caterina, was an integral part of the structure. The recent establishment of the Art Gallery was the result of the need to find a home for the rich artistic heritage donated from private citizens. Previously, with the exception of a small selection which were exhibited in the G.A. Sanna National Archeological Museum, these were kept in store rooms. The exhibition covers three floors of the building and consists in more than 400 works of art, mainly paintings. It is divided into different themes (religious subjects, mythology, history, portraits, landscapes, still lifes, genre scenes etc.). These are organised chronologically and show the work of different Italian and European artists and schools from the medieve to the 21th Century. There is also an important collection of the works of Sardinian artists from the early 20th century and a rich collection of graphic works.
