Cannonau | Grape variety
Cannonau di Sardegna is a red wine produced on the Italian island of Sardinia from the Cannonau grape, also known as Grenache. This wine is typically dry and tannic, with a strong body, medium alcohol content and soft acidity. The variety of aromas ranges from red fruits such as raspberries and strawberries to floral and spicy notes, giving the wine a special complexity.
Cannonau di Sardegna can be vinified as a single variety or blended with other grape varieties, as it adds flavor and fruitiness without developing tannin or toffee notes during maturation. The taste is dominated by ripe berries, plums, cranberries and white spices. It is a light to medium-bodied red wine that can age very well. The tannins are generally pronounced, the alcohol content rather high and the acidity low. - Gerardo [TS05/25]
