Gold Medal winner at Mundus Vini 2016. TASTING NOTE: \"Cannonau\" is the Sardinian name for the Garnacha (Grenache) grape, which thrives in warm climates such as Spain, southern France, Australia and, of course, on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia. This wine serves up cherry, blackberry, dried herbs and spices, with a smoky finish. Pour it tonight with mushroom burgers, or fregola with mushrooms and herbs. (Vintages panel, Jan. 2017) |
