Vinicola Cherchi
Cannonau 2019
Cannonau di Sardegna DOC
Sardinia’s most widely planted grape and point of cultural wine pride, it’s no wonder that Cherchi cultivates Cannonau in the hills around Usini. A mix of calcareous and clay soils in the Mistral influenced Sassari region provide a uniquely lifted style, which Cherchi puts on full display with minimal winemaking influence.
Vineyard
Cherchi works over 30 hectares in the northwestern part of Sardinia, around the town of Usini. Their vineyards are on average 200m above sea level, with mixed calcareous and clay-based soils.
Winemaking
8-10 day skin maceration, 6 months between stainless steel and large neutral oak
Tasting Note
Ripe blackberry, plum and quince mingle with a refreshingly moderate structure in tannin and acidity, very food friendly
