Cannonau di Sardegna DOC
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
Sardinia's signature red, Grenache by another name and likely on the island since Spanish rule. Expect strawberry and dried cherry, myrtle, Mediterranean scrub, warm alcohol and soft but present tannin; the best come from the mountainous Nuoro interior (Oliena, Jerzu, Mamoiada) and show more grip and a savory, blood orange edge. Riserva needs two years of age. Prices are gentle and quality has climbed sharply over the last decade.
