Culture
The culture in Uras is "Sardinian culture," still mostly untouched as it is a village away from the tourist spots and deeply focused on agricultural life. In Uras, you can still feel the quiet and beautiful sense of community that villages once had. Uras is surrounded by the countryside, and this shapes their culture as winemakers, farmers, foragers, and many other aspects related to life in the countryside. Their food is simple and full of love, using mostly organic ingredients. In Uras, most people speak Sardinian and Italian.[4]
Produce
Wine in Uras is not just a drink but is an annual tradition where families get together at the end of the growing season (mostly in September) and help with the picking of the grapes and the whole process related to the making of the wine. Families will share lunches for days in a row and spend sometimes days together celebrating the harvest. Then the whole process will continue indoors with the carefully skilled few people that will know how to treat it correctly and store it.[5]
Another produce that is produced in the families of this village is organic olive oil. In the countryside, there are many olive trees, and families keep preferring their organic produce over the industrialization of this product.[5]
