Nieddera is one of Sardinia's oldest grape varieties, arriving on the island via the Greeks or Phoenicians. Producer Contini, who saved Nieddera from extinction, claims that the vine was already present in Sardinia between the eighth and seventh centuries BC. It currently grows mainly in the western part of the island, particularly in Oristano along the right bank of the Tirso River.
