The Co-operative was founded in 1956 on the initiative
of 23 vine-growers from different towns within the Trexenta district,
an area of rolling hills where wine-growing dates back to ancient times.
In the years of great production (1970/1980) the Trexenta Wine Co-operative
carried out vast export operations to France and Germany, prevalently
Monica grapes (for red wines) and Nuragus grapes (for white wines).
In the 1980s the Co-operative began to diversify its activity, aiming
to improve and develop part of its production through the sale of bottled
wine. At the same time diversification was also seen in the vineyards,
where varieties of grapes were introduced which had previously only
been cultivated marginally. Vineyards of Vermentino and Cannonau sprang
up, and more recently Chardonnay, Montepulciano and Carignano.
