Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva

The grapes come from a single vineyard above Mamoiada at an altitude of approximately 750 to 755 metres; the soils are described as granitic or consisting of weathered granite. Harvest takes place by hand in mid-October, with selection in 20-kg crates. Vinification is carried out in stainless steel, followed by 24 months of ageing in French oak, in both barriques and tonneaux. The nose shows leather, dark spices, red berries, ripe cherry, vanilla and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is full and soft, with well-integrated tannins, supportive acidity and a long, spicy, earthy finish. The 2019 vintage is stated as 15,5 % vol.
