Argiolas Costera rosso 2020 (DOC Cannonau di Sardegna): not just a grape, it's a travel through time

The Cannonau variety originates from the Kingdom of Aragón (currently Spain). It is a variety capable of giving large alcoholic concentrations. Its wines have body, structure, roundness and alcohol, as is the case of the crazy wines from the D.O. Cariñena and Campo de Borja in the province of Zaragoza in Spain. This variety needs Cariñena or Syrah to reach fullness... but in Sardinia it is different, here she alone is enough.

We see the medium opacity of the Cannonau reds. A palette of ripe black fruit appears on the nose, followed by a hint of gunpowder from the cannons of L'Alger. In the mouth comes the round attack typical of the Garnacha. Good structure. Afterwards, a spicy, wide and gouleyant register confirms 100% of this variety. Lack of freshness A warmth that adds volume to this wine. Short but spicy and earthy finish, not devoid of sweet spice hints.

The Argiolas family values this reference at 15 euros. A family that has focused its entire life on translating the wines of Sardinia into an exciting experience and highly centered on innovation and respect for the environment. As pairings, Italian gastronomy dishes such as Ossobuco alla Milanese, an example of culinary wealth that goes beyond pizza, pasta and lassagna.
