Cannonau di Sardegna DOC

Cannonau is Sardinia's answer to the great Mediterranean red wines: dense, spicy, with a depth that one finds nowhere else on this island. Silvio Carta, one of the most well-known houses on the island, vinifies this 100% Cannonau from grapes that ripen slowly in the Sardinian sun, developing a concentration that lifts the wine far above its price.

In the glass, it shows ripe raspberry and dark forest fruits, underlaid by myrtle and Sardinian juniper — two herbs that are omnipresent in the island's macchia and give the wine an unmistakable Mediterranean character. On the palate, powerful and full-bodied, with a present but not aggressive structure and a long, spicy finish.

Best served at 16–18 °C. Classically with this: grilled lamb chops, braised game dishes, or mature Pecorino Sardo. Anyone who does not have cheese at hand should reach for a hearty tomato sugo with rosemary — the wine carries both effortlessly.
