"A true delight" according to Vert de Vin, this 100% Cannonau will make you travel!"
"A wine that smells of raspberry and hibiscus tea. Intensely sweet raspberries and strawberries fill the midpalate, surrounded by a moonlit haze of white pepper dust and rose petals. Fine tannins. Something wildly spicy and fleshy, in the sanguine style. Quite distinctive, and despite all the complexity and texture that fills the mouth, the wine finishes as fine and ethereal as a silk scarf. Certified organic (Ecocert) 2023-2027" (Jancis Robinson 2023)

Area rated Recommended
About the wine:
This Cannonau (aka Grenache) opens with a highly aromatic perfume of petals and white pepper, joined by notes of red fruit. Intense on the palate, lots of salinity in the sweet, creamy, fleshy fruits of cherry and strawberry, accompanied by some spice and a long, sweet finish with a slightly earthy quality. Very easy to drink. 2023-2026

About the wine:
Cannonau di Sardegna 2021 is remarkably pretty, with soft hints of violets and lavender giving way to wild strawberries. This wine is silky and supple to the touch. Pure red berries and inner roses cascade. It tapers off to medium, perfumed length and gentle tension as suggestions of sweet spice fade. This charming, fresh Cannonau will win many hearts. 2024-2026

Rated wine (guide 2023) 93/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The wine has a pale ruby color with a brilliant disk. The nose is intense and open, revealing hints of dried red cherries, candied strawberries, a hint of Mediterranean herbs and white pepper, as well as subtle floral nuances. The palate is juicy and luscious, with intense, sweet fruit, lively acidity and the volume and roundness typical of Cannonau. The wine offers nuances of wild strawberries and forest raspberries with a gourmet touch of spice and cocoa. Good freshness, soft, chalky tannins and perfect integration of alcohol. A real delight!
