High professionalism, attention and respect for tradition together with an eye to the future are the hallmarks of Giulia Mura. The entrepreneur of Pelau oil and wine, declined in products and tourist offer, at only forty years old tells of a solid and constantly expanding company.
The passion and expertise in this area are rooted in a distant past that reaches up to grandmother Maria "who died with a humpback", as Giulia likes to remember.
Maria, left a premature widow and mother of four children, devotes herself to taking care of the countryside and the vineyard even before the olive trees. This link with the countryside also makes its way into the heart of his son Manfredi, who despite his profession as a doctor never forgets his land.
We are speaking of Ogliastra, homeland of centenarians, precisely of the area of Jerzu, the city of wine.
Jerzu hosts an interesting sub-area "the Jerzu Biotype", on which numerous and lengthy studies have been carried out in collaboration with the University of Conegliano Veneto .
Wine that flows in Giulia's veins, recipient not only of her father's teachings, but also of the precious skills of her mother Luisa Corda, who "looks after" the vineyard together with her.
The Mura Corda family, and Giulia herself, today take care of several hundred hectares, including vineyards and olive groves, the result of acquisitions made over time.
One of the most important is the one featuring the old estates of Josto Miglior, a great figure in the history of the last century, in which there is a charming farmhouse currently under renovation.
Vineyard, grapes and wine
In Jerzu the Mura family bottles "Patriarca" and "Tarei", both Cannonau DOC of Sardinia, the first more intense with a dark ruby red color, the second more fluid garnet red. The Vermentino di Sardegna "Le Grazie" is also part of the family, which received the silver medal at the II edition of Cagliari of the "National Vermentino Wine Competition" in 2021. All three labels bear the signature "jmura", where the J indicates Julia Mura and her family, Jerzu and Josto. Under the name "Giulia Mura" bottles with a more youthful slant parade: a Cannonau di Sardegna DOC, perfect to accompany roast meats, game, braised meats and aged cheeses; a Vermentino di Sardegna DOC, ideal for aperitifs and fish-based dishes; a rosé wine, drinkable and pleasant for summer evenings and beyond.
