Atzei
Saragat Cannonau 2020
Cannonau di Sardegna DOC
50-60 year old vines compose the core of Atzei’s Cannonau, lending a notable strength and concentration to the wine. The thoughtful winemaking rounds out the body and provides a surprisingly fresh take on this well respected variety.
Vineyard
As the grapes are sourced from a number of vineyards across the area of Mogoro, the wine expresses a range of elevations, exposures, soil types, and micro-climates. Coastal vineyards provide acidity and a refreshing saline character, while further inland the wines show more ripeness and structure. Soils are composed mostly of sand and volcanic sediment.
Winemaking
Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, 10 day maceration, short stay in stainless steel
Tasting Note
Intense aromatic structure of ripe red fruits like cherry and blackberry, but also flowers such as violet and dried rose. In the mouth it immediately reveals an elegant, velvety texture. The tannins are well integrated and the balanced acidity accompanies the wine in the persistent finish.
