Description

This fully mature Cannonau offers a soulful and distinctly Mediterranean expression shaped by long bottle age. The nose opens with dried strawberry, sour cherry, and sun-warmed fig, layered with notes of leather, dried herbs, and balsamic undertones. As it unfolds, aromas of forest floor, cured meat, tobacco, and orange peel emerge, accented by hints of anise and wild fennel.

On the palate, the wine is soft and resolved, its structure gently worn by time. The fruit has evolved toward dried red berries and savory tones, complemented by earthy minerality and subtle spice. Tannins are fully melted, lending a smooth, almost velvety texture, while the alcohol—once a hallmark of Cannonau—now feels integrated and warm rather than assertive.

A thread of bright, savory acidity provides balance and lift, keeping the wine alive and expressive. Notes of dried thyme, tea leaf, balsamic resin, and gentle pepper unfold gradually, reinforcing the wine’s rustic yet refined character. The overall impression is one of harmony, authenticity, and quiet depth.

The finish is persistent and gently savory, marked by leather, dried herbs, and fading red fruit. At or just past peak maturity, this Cannonau is best enjoyed slowly, ideally alongside simple Sardinian dishes or in contemplative isolation. It stands as a compelling testament to the longevity and emotional resonance of Cannonau when carefully cellared.
