The Ghirada

Ghirada in Sardinian dialect indicates a portion of vineyard bordered by walls or headlands, called in French a Cru. 

Often, the name of a Ghirada indicates a toponym, but there are times when they refer to the name of the original owner of the land, or to geological features of the land. Many of these names have been transmitted orally for generations. In Teularju there are four Ghiradas with different soils, exposure, altitude, etc.
