It presents a vibrant ruby red colour, hinting at the youthful energy within. The nose is bursting with aromas of fresh red berries, particularly cherries and raspberries, intertwined with notes of wild herbs, such as myrtle and juniper. A subtle hint of spice adds complexity and a touch of earthy minerality.
This Cannonau is dry, medium-bodied, and refreshing on the palate, with smooth tannins and lively acidity. The flavours mirror the aromas, showcasing juicy red fruit alongside the characteristic herbal notes and a pleasant savoury edge. The finish is clean and lingering. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a range of Mediterranean dishes, including roasted meats like lamb and pork and hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces. It also complements grilled vegetables, charcuterie, and cheeses, particularly Pecorino Sardo. Its herbal notes make it a natural match for dishes seasoned with Mediterranean herbs.
