Olianas, Cannonau di Sardegna DOC (Sardinia, Italy) 2016

Dec 27, 2017

By Rich Cook

 A nice find from this DOC, where Grenache is known as Cannonau.  This presents like a ripe strawberry pie, with bold red berry and spice and a kiss of white pepper.  Bright acidity helps the finish blossom, and a cherry note joins the flavor profile.  I like this style as a solo drinker, or you could opt for simple beef dishes to accompany.
