"100% Cannonau rated 97/100 by James Suckling!"
"A panoramic nose, with a variety of red fruits and berries standing out, complemented by notes of roses, violets and fresh pine. Medium-bodied, with plenty of depth and complexity. Silky tannins. Finely tuned intensity keeps the palate moving. Smoky finish. Superb. Best after 2024." (James Suckling 2022)

Small red fruits followed by hints of leather and spices, present but very elegant tannins, fine structure, full body, long persistence, we discover in this wine unexplored characteristics of a grape variety capable of defying time.

Wine rated (guide 2023 ) 17.5/20
About the wine:
Pale and still ruby, although there is a hint of garnet. Smells of cherry pie. Intensely fragrant - lavender, cigar, dried and crushed eucalyptus leaves, masses of pink and Sichuan peppercorns. Delicate poached strawberries and pomegranate juice. The wine is so peppery and spicy that it's almost reminiscent of chipotle, dried chili pepper, from the middle to the end of the palate. The wine has a tight, almost fiery texture that seems to come more from the spices and fruit than from the tannins. Bewitching. Stunning. Singular. 2023-2027
Vinous A. Galloni
Wine rated (guide 2023) 92/100
About the wine:
The 2019 Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva is dark, rich and charcoal, with a whiff of savory herbs that gives way to crushed stones and strawberry sauce. It's elegant and refined, easily unfurling silky waves of ripe red and blue fruit on the palate. A touch of tart citrus adds contrast. The 2019 leaves a weave of soft tannins as notes of wild blueberry and licorice slowly fade. This wine is already magnificent, but it should also excel over the next three to five years. 2024-2028
