Su Trinta ‘e Sant’Andria is the revival of the traditional moment of tapping new wines dedicated to Saint Andrew, historically held on 30 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditional appointment was linked to the great oenological vocation of the Ozierese hills and is attested at least since the early 20th century by the historical documentation mentioned below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The archives of the Ozieri Prize show a special mention awarded in the 10th edition of the Prize in 1965 to the poem by Salvatore Chessa, a well-known Barore, ‘A Sant’Andria’ – See extract from the book ‘Poesia in Sardegna 1956-1967’ edited by Antonio Sanna and Tonino Ledda Sarda Fossattaro publisher. The verses have the merit of historicising the event and enhancing the popular sentiment linked to the traditional moment of tapping new wines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Ozieri Choir first officially published in 1987 the song ‘Su trinta de su mese ‘e Sant’Andria’ set to music by Mario Coloru, with the poem’s text by Barore Chessa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    To commemorate this traditional moment, the municipality and the Pro Loco decided to go beyond the spontaneous initiative of the winegrowers by organising a significant event with a white night in the historic centre, involving winery owners, traders, associations, choirs and cantadores, with the opening of historic buildings and museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For several years now, on the last Saturday in November, the wine cellars, organised in a consultancy, have been open in the vast circuit of the historic centre, where guests can taste the new wines accompanied by traditional agro-food products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The event takes the form of a public event to promote the typical wines and products of Ozieri, the streets and squares of the historic centre with a white night, to enhance its unique architectural features and vocation for social and commercial hospitality and reception.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    The event<\/h2>
    <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    It is part of the urban marketing programme for revitalising social, historical, cultural and commercial terms of the historic centre of Ozieri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The municipal administration, together with the Pro Loco, voluntary groups of wine cellar owners, the Centro Commerciale Naturale, shop owners, artisan workshops, and various associations, is organising this promotional event with Notte Bianca. Moreover it\u2019s planning the opening of shops beyond the usual hours, setting up shows, concerts, and initiatives to promote local products and wines as part of the traditional event of ‘Su trinta’e Sant’Andria’, when private wine cellars are opened for the tapping of new wines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Over the past few years, it has achieved considerable success in terms of participation, standing out in the regional panorama of events for its particularity, with large numbers of visitors from all over the island and even from outside Sardinia. This provided the opportunity to visit the historical buildings, museums, and exhibitions, with consequent significant spin-offs in terms of promoting cultural, agri-food, and economic resources and revitalising the large historic centre of Ozieri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It does not escape our notice that the success of the event also represents an important resource as a moment of aggregation, among people of different ages and interests, of training and project elaboration in the cultural, social and recreational spheres, but also as an opportunity capable of promoting and fostering the economic development and wine tradition of the area. Su Trinta ‘e Sant’Andria, organised by the municipality, involves numerous cultural and commercial associations, wine growers and operators of typical local products, and has achieved excellent results in terms of turnout, enhancement of wine, food and cultural productions, and promotion of the culture of hospitality and sociability in the historic centre of Ozieri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On this occasion, crowds of visitors take to the alleyways of the centre, visiting streets, squares, fountains, historical buildings and courtyards and participating with interest in the cultural, archaeological and art exhibitions open at the open museums.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    A night of oenological experiences on the typical varieties of the Ozierese hills, with tastings of ancient vines and ‘unicums’ subject to revitalisation and research programmes by regional agencies and universities, such as Alvarega and Redagliadu. But also of gastronomic experiences such as the Ozierese bread ‘la spianata’, historical cheeses such as ‘la greviera’ and the delicate sweets ‘sospiri’ and ‘copuletas’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Certainly, an opportunity to experience the identity and hospitality of the people of Logudoro, in its cultural and historical aspects, such as the palace of Francesco Ignazio Mannu, the Borgia family and the Grixoni family; the precious retables of the Master of Ozieri; the artefacts that founded the Neolithic civilisation of the Culture of Ozieri.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
