From the winemaker: Cannonau is the oenological nexus of Sardinia, and perhaps of the entire
mediterranean basin. Sella & Mosca lavishes extra care on it, cultivating it
in the warm and sandy seaside vineyards and the harsh and rocky inland
soils of the hills.
It is fermented and macerated on the skins and aged in oak barrels for at
least 6 months, then cellared for 2 years, which favors the development of
its classic mediterranean characters. The ruby red color with garnet hues,
translucent and brilliant, announces bright, mature and refined aromas.
The fresh scent of violet is perfectly integrated by notes of jam, plums,
blackcurrants and oriental spices. The palate is solid, wellstructured and
warm in its embrace, but always well-balanced, thanks also to fresh bursts
of balsam and medicinal herbs and berries. The aftertaste presents toasted
hints before returning to the spice route.
