About the producer
The Jankara estate was founded in 2006 when Renato and Angela Spanu first purchased 21 acres of untouched hillside land in the prestigious vein of San Leonardo within the highlands of Gallura.
In 2008, The Spanus planted 11 of the original 21 acres with the Vermentino grape.
In 2013, Renato and Angela Spanu were joined by their long time friends and world class Chef and Restauranteurs Angelo and Denise Elia, owners of the famous “Casa D’Angelo Restaurants” in South Florida, in a new partnership that will help propel Jankara to new levels.
The Estate is located between the towns of Luras and Sant’Antonio di Gallura near Lake Liscia, at about 300 meters above sea level and about 25 minutes from the prestigious Costa Smeralda beaches.
A deep passion for Sardinia and particularly Gallura, the homeland of Renato, brought them to pursue this fantastic dream of realizing a world class wine and promoting the beauty and richness of the Gallura granite mountains and soils to the world.
After much sacrifice and very hard work, the couple along with the help of their new partners Angelo and Denise have come to create Jankara; a true expression of their love of wine and the amazing ancient land called Gallura!
Vinous
- v89
The 2018 Cannonau di Sardegna shows a dusty display of crushed stone and violets, giving way to black currants and savory herbs. Its textures are silky, offset by a more tart display of wild berries, minerals and brisk acids. This tapers off long yet juicy and floral, with just a hint of fine tannin that frames the finish nicely.
Adult Signature is required for every shipment.
