Jerzu, the Wine Town — Villages | Guida Ogliastra I Mandorli

Jerzu, the Wine Town

Eight hundred hectares of vines clinging to the heels and a cooperative winery telling Cannonau's story since 1950: Jerzu doesn't just make wine, it breathes it.

Details and how to get there

## The vertical wine town Jerzu climbs the heels at 500 metres, its vines terracing down towards the sea.

The cooperative winery — among the island's oldest — welcomes visitors with guided tastings: from classic Cannonau to reserves ageing with a view over Ogliastra.

## The festival In early August the town becomes a trail of open courtyards, Cannonau on tap and shepherds' dishes: one of Sardinia's most authentic wine festivals — no stages, no plastic, just village, wine and music.

## Our house tip Combine it with Ulassai (20 minutes) or Gairo Vecchio: mountains, art and wine in one day.

Designate a driver or return unhurried: the heels' hairpins deserve clear heads and photo stops.
