What February feels like

February belongs to carnival. Mamoiada's sheepskin-clad Mamuthones stalk the streets, Oristano runs the horseback Sa Sartiglia, and half the island's villages stage something strange and wonderful. The weather swings between crisp blue days and proper Atlantic-style fronts, mimosa and almond trees flower, and the mountains often carry snow. Visit for folklore and food rather than the beach. In Barbagia and the Nuorese the mountains set the tone: shepherd villages, mural-covered Orgosolo and the high Gennargentu.

Cellar doors are quiet and winemakers have time to talk: the best months for Cannonau and Vermentino tastings.
