Jankara Vermentino di Gallura
Summary Jankara Vermentino di Gallura Superiore DOCG is a single-vineyard white from the Jankara estate in Sardinia's prestigious Alta Gallura region, Italy. Founded in 2006 by Renato and Angela Spanu, the winery focuses on granite-rich soils in the Vena di San Leonardo area, producing this 100% Vermentino from carefully selected old vines. Hand-harvested in early fall, grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with temperature control to enhance aromas and complexity, followed by 6 months in tank and 2 months in bottle before release. This wine showcases great balance between acidity, alcohol, and fruit—rich, intense, and typical of Gallura's mineral-driven style. Approachable young but with short-term aging potential (3-5 years), it's perfect with seafood, grilled fish, fresh pasta, or light cheeses.
