Cannonau from Sardinia

Cannonau is perhaps the wine that best represents Sardinia. This wine is cultivated throughout the island, with approximately 30% of Sardinia's vineyards dedicated to Cannonau, covering around 7,500 hectares. Of these, 70% are grown in the interior, mainly in the Nuoro region. The origin of the wine is still not entirely clear - studies suggest that wine was already being cultivated during the Nuragic era (from around 1500 BC).

Cannonau is characterized by a very delicate flavor that varies from zone to zone. It has a good aftertaste and expressive notes that evoke flowers or fresh berries, ripe hints of fruity jams, and a touch of warm spices that distinguish this wine.

Costera, Cannonau di Sardegna DOC

An excellent Cannonau from the well-known Argiolas winery in the south of Sardinia. Dark, balanced and harmonious - goes wonderfully with rather strong dishes.

Tonaghe, Cannonau di Sardegna D.O.C.

"Deep ruby-red. Pure, precise aromas of red cherry and dark berries show a delicate smoky quality and a violet topnote. Sweet and straightforward on the palate, offering ripe blackberry and red cherry flavors. Supple tannins make for a soft, shapely wine that is exceptionally easy to drink, but the finish could use more length and nuance." Ian d'Agata
