Cannonau | Grape variety
Cannonau di Sardegna is a red wine produced on the island of Sardinia in Italy. It is made from the eponymous Cannonau grape, also known as Grenache, and is usually dry and tannic. The Cannonau grape produces powerful and full-bodied red wines with medium alcohol, soft acidity and generous aromas of red fruits such as raspberries and strawberries, as well as floral and spicy notes.
Cannonau di Sardegna can be made as a varietal wine or blended with other varieties, as it imparts flavor and fruit without developing tannin and toffee notes as it ages. Cannonau wine tastes of ripe berries, plums, cranberries and white spices. It is a light to medium bodied red wine that ages very well. The tannins are typically strong, the alcohol content is rather high and the acidity is low. - Gerardo [TS02/23]
