Description
In a nutshell:
Fruit-forward and elegant, this Cannonau - a Sardinian speciality - brings together ripe red berries, subtle spice, and a savoury, earthy depth.
The lowdown:
Cannonau, Sardinia's signature red variety, has been growing on the island since time immemorial, though the rest of the world knows it as Grenache or Garnacha. As this one shows, the Sardinian take is darker-fruited, earthier, and a bit more structured than versions from elsewhere. Aged in stainless steel, it lets the bright fruit do the talking, with ripe red berry aromas leading the way. There's plenty of depth on the palate, with subtle balsamic notes adding a touch of richness. Fresh and savoury, with fine tannins and a long, silky finish, it's Cannonau in classic Mediterranean style.
The Producer:
With over 500 hectares of vineyards, Sella & Mosca are a major force in Sardinia's wine scene. Most of their vines surround the winery near Alghero in the northwest, with additional plots in Gallura and Sulcis. Founded in the early 1900s by a pair of Piedmontese entrepreneurs, they've spent over a century refining their craft, steadily growing into one of the island's most respected producers. Their impressive portfolio is built around quintessentially Sardinian varieties, capturing the true character of a land where winemaking has been part of the story for over 3,000 years.
When to drink:
Aged pecorino or a classic Sardinian antipasto of cured meats, olives, and roasted peppers work brilliantly - a good food wine, its bright fruit and savoury depth handle bold flavours without breaking a sweat.
