CANNONAU DI SARDEGNA

This excellent wine comes from the Estate vineyard “Firmadu” and is made from the Cannonau grape varietal which is the Sardinian version of Spain’s Granacha. This varietal takes on styles of its own here in the potent reds, both dry and sweet, under the Cannonau di Sardegna DOC. It is aged for a total of two years, part of which is in barrels and then six additional months in the bottles. The wine has an intense ruby color with granite reflections. The bouquet is very intense and persistent, herbaceous and delicate. It has a typical scent of dried fruits, walnut hull and prunes.

This is a fine wine for sipping or as an excellent compliment to roasted meats, classic pork dishes, pastas, and cheeses. Serve at room temperature. Decanting is recommended for the release of the fine nuances of this delicious wine.
