Founded on June 21, 1908, sixteen years later it was reconstituted as a Cooperative Anonymous Society by 79 founding members. The purpose of the Society was to buy wine products from both members and other winegrowers in order to market them, trying to limit the use of intermediaries as much as possible. Designed basically as a way to protect the source of income of the winegrowers, namely the wine production that until the mid-20th century constituted the basic economy of Monserrato. From the beginning, wines such as Nuragus and Rosso were exported to Latium and Tuscany. Later the trade network expanded to include Veneto, Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia and even France. The Monserrato site, located on Julius Caesar Street, houses the bottling facilities and thermally controlled tanks, which enable the processing of wines to be bottled. The Ussana facility is the collection center for all the grapes produced by the cooperative’s members. It is equipped with grape processing facilities, vinification and storage tanks where they have must fermentations, later transferred to Monserrato for packaging.
