Sardegna | Rosato | Rosé
Rosé wines from Sardinia are often powerful and mineral, characterized by the unique soils and the Mediterranean climate. Cannonau, the island's most important grape variety, gives the rosés a deep color and rich aromas of berries and herbs.
Rosato wines from Sardinia, predominantly made from the Cannonau grape variety, are powerful, mineral and extremely strong in character. Cannonau - the Sardinian variety of Grenache - brings fullness, spice and structure to the wine without losing its freshness. The aromas are reminiscent of red currants, rose hips, Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary and sometimes a hint of smoke or salt, which can be attributed to the nearby sea.
These wines often have more tannin than other rosé wines and are ideal with grilled meat, strong sausages or Sardinian cheese specialties. They also harmonize perfectly with traditional dishes such as malloreddus or culurgiones. Sardinian rosati are not only an expression of the landscape, but also of the island's independence - rustic, honest and yet refined. - Gerardo [TS05/25]
