Cardedu Canonau di Sardegna 'Caladu' '20

This sun-drenched Cannonau from Sardinia's granite soils offers intense aromas of wild blackberry, juniper, and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is rich and textured, with ripe tannins and lively acidity balancing flavors of black cherry, licorice, and a distinctive smoky minerality that scored 92 points. Aged 12 months in a combination of large oak and concrete tanks, it finishes with impressive length. At 14.5% alcohol, it carries its power gracefully - pair with lamb roasted with rosemary or aged Pecorino to experience Sardinia's bold wine tradition.
