Sella & Mosca Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva

Cannonau di Sardegna, Italy

Sardinia's most internationally recognized Cannonau — aged Grenache from the Alghero district on clay-limestone, with extended oak maturation. Dark cherry, strawberry preserve, dried herbs, tobacco, vanilla from oak, and the characteristic Sardinian warmth and generosity. Accessible from release but develops well over 5-7 years. The gateway to understanding what Cannonau di Sardegna can achieve.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Sardinia's most traditional pasta and its classic red — Cannonau's dark fruit and Mediterranean herb character bridges the sausage and saffron ragu; the wine's warmth mirrors the pasta's satisfying richness
• cheese: The island's aged cheese board and its most accessible Cannonau — the wine's dark cherry and tobacco bridges pecorino's sharp tang; salumi adds savoury depth; honey mirrors the wine's ripe fruit
