“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 coming to the fore, complemented by notes of roses, violets, and fresh pine. Medium-bodied, with great depth and complexity. Silky tannins. The finely balanced intensity keeps the palate engaged. A smoky finish. Superb. Best after 2024. ” (James Suckling 2022)

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

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