The “Giancu” is a Vermentino from Sardinia that the Tanca Gioia winery produces from the vineyards located on the Island of San Pietro, in a beautiful area characterized by the presence of a rich vegetation of spontaneous shrubs of the Mediterranean scrub. The climate is always very ventilated thanks to the constant sea breezes and the Maestrale. The soils are predominantly composed of sands, particularly suitable for a grape variety like Vermentino, which has been present along the coasts of the Mare Nostrum for centuries. The wonderful sunny exposures, allow for the maturation of grapes with very intense aromas. At the end of the harvest, the best selected bunches in the vineyard are gently pressed to extract only the free-run juice. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, and before bottling, the wine matures for about 6 months in steel tanks.
