- Having stood the test of time for centuries, it’s probable that Cannonau has undergone notable mutations, adding to its intriguing heritage.
- Within the vineyards of Veneto, Tocai Rosso is speculated to represent a distinct biotype of Cannonau, a connection that lends depth to its story.
- Renowned as one of Sardinia’s paramount grape varieties, Cannonau holds a position of prominence on the island.
- While it may not boast high levels of anthocyanin, it compensates with its rich history and significance in winemaking.
- Across Sardinia, it thrives in three distinguished quality zones: Oliena, Jerzu, and Capo Ferrato, each contributing its own unique terroir and character to the wine’s expression.
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.
