Signature red grape variety for Sardegna and a less aggressive, lighter and easier vintage of cannonau to be sure....

Drinks really well after breathing for half an hour. A bit on the sweet side and high on the alcohol but more complex & enjoyable than Grenache-based wines from other countries like France for example. Tasted in August 2022.

A reliable Cannonau (Grenache) from Italy's second largest Island - Sardegna. Fairly intense nose of roses, red berry fruit, anise, earthy forest floor, cedar and baking spice. Replays on the palate with vanillin thrown in. Chalky tannins, high alcohol, medium plus acidity and ok length. Offers decent complexity for the price, but depth and length lacking somewhat. Good value while on sale. March 2021.
