Cannonau di Sardegna DOC Riserva 1.5L Magnum

Cannonau on Sardinia is one of the oldest red wine varieties in the Mediterranean region — and Sella & Mosca has been one of the most reliable interpreters of this grape variety since 1899. The Riserva shows what two years of barrel aging in Slovenian oak can do for the island grape.

In the glass, the wine presents itself in a deep garnet with slight brick tones. On the nose, blackberry, dried cherry, and violets, which gain intensity with increasing age. The body is powerful, the tannins are well-integrated due to the maceration and long wood aging, and the finish is warm and slightly spicy with a hint of tobacco.

The 1.5-liter magnum matures more slowly than the standard bottle — an advantage for anyone who wants to store the wine for a few more years. Now until 2029. Temperature: 17–18 °C.
