Giampaolo Parpinello
President and Founder
“Together with my children, I run the Parpinello Winery. I have been a winemaker for many years. I have always made wine and taken care of the grape vines. In the past I worked for other wineries in the region, but now I work for our family entreprise.”
Paolo Parpinello
Partner and Founder
After many years of experience in many important wine businesses in Sardinia, I decided, together with my father, to realize our dream.
Now, as the business manager of the company, I work with clients, sales, publicity, and commercial networks.
Today, Poderi Parpinello has 35 hectares of grapevines in three different locations: 7 hectares on the coast of Castelsardo, 15 hectares near the Lake of Baratz/Alghero, and 13 hectares in Janna de Mare (located between Alghero and Sassari), where the wines are made. The different geographical areas provide a broad range of environments, enabling the winery to cultivate many local grape varieties (Vermentino, Cannonau, Monica, Cagnulari, and Torbato). In 2021, a new local grape (Semidano) was added, as well as international varieties (Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon).
The Poderi Parpinello winery represents the cutting edge of wine technology, a culmination of the perfect mix of innovation and tradition. Our wines are enriched with creativity and passion as well as the experience gained from 60 years of activity in Sardinia. The different geographical areas of the vineyards enable us to produce high quality wines characterized by freshness, sapidity, an optimal structure, and— naturally—the right mineral note. Our Cannonau, Vermentino, Monica, Cagnulari, Torbato and (since 2021) Semidano, as well as international varieties (Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon), have been created to cater to an increasingly knowledgeable market.
The La Vinia Bed & Wine Experience is an elegant building surrounded by grapevines and ancient oak trees, just a short distance from the winery. It is graced with a spacious, welcoming café and a swimming pool. The rooms have been prepared with care to offer you the utmost in comfort. La Vinia is located in an ideal position, allowing you to easliy reach important tourist destinations as well as the coastal beaches of Alghero and Sassari.
From the grapevines to the winery, everywhere at Parpinello Winery you will find the hospitality that is our trademark. Our teamwork and professionalism, as well as the quality of our products and our genuine pleasure to get to know the guests who come to visit us and sample our wines, result in a high standord of excellence.

If you try one of our wines and savor its complexities, we believe you will understand our land and the hands that created our wine from it. You can take a walk among the vines that grow around the winery while listening to those who founded it and curate it.
For all these reasons, a wine tasting at Parpinello Winery is a unique and enthralling experience.
A truly sensory journey, enriched by ocean breezes and the colors of the vines—always intense and changing according to the season—which help you understand the aromas and flavors of our wines.
