- The Alghero DOC is located in the northwestern part of Sardinia, Italy. The DOC area centers around the coastal town of Alghero, known for its picturesque beaches and historic architecture.
- The Alghero region benefits from a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The vineyards are often located on rolling hills with calcareous and sandy soils, which contribute to the mineral quality of the wines.
