A noteworthy Cannonau maded solely from this grape variety typically exhibits a hue that does not verge on a deep black, owing to the grape’s modest anthocyanin content. Optimal aging conditions often eschew small oak barrels. In its youthful expression, expect a Cannonau to unveil a bouquet of delicate red florals, underscored by the earthy essence of dry field herbs.

With aging, the wine’s profile transforms into a richer tapestry, offering a creamy texture accentuated by nuanced layers of spice, hints of underbrush, and a subtle interplay of nutty undertones.
