Cannonau - Also known as Grenache
TASTING NOTES
This Cannonau, also known as Grenache or Granacha, grows on wind-blown stony soils. The 2019 harvest began on September 20, strictly by hand and in crates. The vinification and aging are aimed at not distorting or contrasting what this wonderful grape offers, therefore after fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, it follows the refinement of six months in lightly toasted French oak barrels and tonneau and 18 months in bottle. Cannonau Riserva 2019 is dark red with impenetrable violet reflections. On the nose we are welcomed by notes of blackberry jam, while in the mouth small red fruits are followed by notes of leather and spices. The tannin is there, you feel it, but it is extremely elegant, in this wine with a beautiful structure and full body, characterized by a long persistence. It pairs perfectly with grilled or braised red meats, savory first courses and aged cheeses. In July 2021 the company completed the conversion process to organic, and is therefore certified.
