"Try this 100% Cannonau Sardinian wine, rated 97/100 and described as superb 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 great depth and complexity. Silky tannins. The finely tuned intensity keeps the palate moving. Smoky finish. Superb. Best after 2024. (James Suckling 2022)

Wine rated (2023 guide) 17,5/20
About wine:
Pale and still ruby, although there is a hint of garnet. It smells like cherry pie. It is intensely fragrant—lavender, cigar, dried and crushed eucalyptus leaves, masses of pink pepper and Sichuan pepper. Delicate poached strawberries and pomegranate juice. The wine is so peppery and spicy that it almost recalls chipotle, dried chili pepper, from the middle to the finish. The wine has a tight, almost fiery texture that seems to come more from the spices and fruit than the tannins. Captivating. Breathtaking. Unique. 2023-2027

About wine:
The Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva 2019 is dark, rich, and smoky, with a burst of savory herbs giving way to crushed stones and strawberry sauce. It is elegant and refined, easily unfolding waves of silky ripe red and blue fruits on the palate. A touch of tart citrus adds contrast. The 2019 leaves a soft tannin structure 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
