Giovanni Montisci Cannonau di Sardegna Barrosu DOC 2021
The grapes for this wine come from 65-year-old vines located in Barbagia at an altitude of 650 meters above sea level. The subsoil consists of decomposed granite.
After harvest, the wine has spontaneously fermented for 20-25 days without any temperature control. Giovanni has done manual punch-down 3 times a day.
After fermentation, the wine has matured for 12 months in Slavonian oak. The wine is not filtered, and no chemicals are used. In connection with bottling, Giovanni has added a minimal amount of sulphur.
The wine has a nice deep red color and a lovely complex aroma of red berries and myrtle, known as Aphrodite's flower, which grows over most of Sardinia.
The taste is rich, fresh and elegant. It is characterized by great elegance and balance. The tannins are lovely and soft.
It is a wine that can last for many years.
We recommend drinking the wine from large burgundy glasses, and preferably in the company of
robust meat dishes, grilled fish, dark chocolate and mature cheeses.
