Sardinia is one of the wine growing regions on the rise and has been producing wines with a lot of personality and robustness.

As the second largest island in the Mediterranean, just behind Sicily, has already been invaded and commanded by various kingdoms and empires to the very beginning of history, and therefore has great culinary diversity, linguistic, architectural and, of course, wine.

The winegrowers in the region are very committed to creating wines of exceptional quality that are gaining international recognition day after day. Sardinia is today one of the great promises of the wine world.

The grapes Cannonau

Cannonau or Grenache is one of the most widely planted red wine grape varieties in the world.

Is a red-wine grape grown extensively in France, Spain, Australia and in the United States.

It is particularly versatile both in the vineyard and the winery, which may explain why it is one of the most widely distributed grapes in the world.

In Italy, Grenache is most commonly found as Cannonau in Sardinia where it is one of the principal grapes in the island's deeply colored, full bodied red wines that routinely maintain alcohol levels around 15%.

The Sardinian D.O.C. wine Cannonau di Sardegna is by law at least 90% local Grenache (Cannonau). Grenache is also grown in other Italian regions, under names as Alicante, Tocai rosso, Granaccia, Vernaccia Nera.
