Sardinian Cannonau Olianas

Olianas Cannonau di Sardegna DOC 2021

This organic wine of the Cannonau di Sardegna DOC consists of 90% Cannonau from the estate Sedda Sa Figu vineyard and 10% Tintillu from the Anfiteatro vineyard. Stainless steel fermentation with partial amphora before an 8 month aging process with 80% in tank and 20% in second to third use barriques. Powerful ripe strawberry and baking spice aromas are an honest introduction for this lively and complex grenache. Tobacco and coffee notes add layers on a medium to full-bodied palate, animated with a vivid freshness over a savoury, rustic essence and fine-grained tannins. Nicely balanced.
