Map of the Natural and Cultural Heritage in the Landscape of the Carignano Wine District of the Sulcis Region (SW Sardinia)
Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2014, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
: “Carignano del Sulcis” is a much appreciated wine, ruby red with a dry, sapid and harmonious flavour. It is produced exclusively from vineyards trained as alberate and trellised alberate. The area of production, which includes all administrative territories of many Sulcis communities, features a complex and varied landscape from the geological and geomorphological standpoints. It has a high degree of geodiversity and density of sites of great geomorphological and landscape interest whose salient characteristics are described below. The work presents the results of an inventory of the natural (geosites, geomorphosites, parks and nature reserves) and cultural heritage (archaeological sites, industrial archaeology sites, sites of architectural, historic and traditional interest) classified and georeferenced within their landscape units, together with a part of the wine-producing areas. From the overall picture of the heritage emerges a high degree of multiplicity of the natural and cultural heritage that may play an important role as a possible motor for truly sustainable development from the standpoint of geo- and cultural tourism more in general.
