Welcome to Seneghe, a charming Sardinian town nestled in the province of Oristano, rich in history and traditions related to wine.
The meaning of “sèneghe” in Logudorese Sardinian is intriguing: ancient, old. An enchanting interpretation of the toponym derives from the Phoenician word “scin”, which means tooth, referring to the jagged mountain overlooking the town.
