Philosophy
Vigneti Zanatta is a young company founded in 2003 with the combination of two pieces of land known for their tradition on the production of the following wines: Sardinia and Veneto. The wines are produced from local grapes in the Gallura area in Sardinia. It is the very nature of the extremely sandy soil with little water or organic matter that gives the wines such as Vermentino di Gallura DOCG and Cannonau di Sardegna DOC their aromatic, spicy flavour by which they are known and can be immediately identified.
During the 30 years that he was passionate about wine, he founded - together with his son and daughter - a real family business. In 2003, the Zanatta family bought what could be called the beginning of a fruitful wine business: 20 acres in a hilly area in Sardinia, some 300 metres above sea level. Two varieties were planted on this site: Vermentino and Cannonau.
A few years later, in 2005, the family decided to expand their estate after investing in 100 acres of land at sea level in the centre of the Gallura region (northern Sardinia). Patience, dedication and love transformed this land over the years into the fertile ground where they produce their Vermentino di Gallura DOCG and Cannonau di Sardegna.
Bruno's dream came true in 2008, when the construction of the estate was completed. Daily dedication combined with years of experience and professionalism are just some of the characteristics of this determined family business. Vigneti Zanatta proves that the combination of two supposedly separate, remote soils can result in an excellent winemaking tradition.

Wines
Discover the pure and typically unique flavours of Sardinia, the absolute top of Gallura:
Orion Vermentino di Sardegna
Intensely seductive, elegant Vermentino with fruity and floral aromas, scent of tropical fruits and green herbs. In the mouth, a hint of citrus and notions of jasmine and wild flowers. The finish is lively and dry. Ideal as an aperitif or as the perfect accompaniment to pasta vongole, Mediterranean fish dishes, salads and seafood.
Renadoro Vermentino di Gallura DOCG
Deliciously balanced, summery Vermentino with aromas of flowers, spices and exotic fruit. Deliciously balanced mouthfeel. Fresh and creamy at the same time, with a delightfully long aftertaste. Great with lightly seasoned and grilled fish dishes, shellfish, summer salads and Mediterranean fish dishes.
Salana Cannonau di Sardegna DOC
Juicy, full and balanced. Aromas of fresh fruit such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry, a hint of strawberry accompanied by slightly spicy undertones. Juicy, sunny and wonderfully balanced. Rich, tasty and beautifully measured finish. Fantastic with lamb, grilled or roasted red meat, spicy stews and cheeses.
Kelu Vino Spumante Vermentino Di Sardegna Millesimato
Delicious bubbles and 100% Vermentino di Sardegna. Fine and rich pearl with the typical floral and spicy aromas. Rich but perfectly dry finish. Very seductive aperitif and thanks to its aromatic character also delicious with seafood, risotto, baked or grilled fish and even dried or salted meat.
Le Saline Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Superiore
Aromas of spices, raisins, toast, vanilla and wood shavings. Full and ripe mouthfeel. High complexity that richly touches the taste buds. Long luscious finish that requires some guidance. Delicious with firm or creamy fish dishes, poultry, vitello (veal) and cheeses to finish.
