Cannonau di Sardegna 2024

Description

Still red wine from Sardinia, 12.5% ABV, produced by Cherchi Giovanni, 2024 vintage. 100% Cannonau, in a 0.75L bottle. A wine born from the passion of Giovanni Cherchi, who has been producing typical Usini wines since 1970. The grapes are destemmed and pressed, and fermentation on the skins lasts 8-10 days at 25-28°C. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously in the fall or spring following the harvest. Aged partly in stainless steel and partly in wooden barrels for approximately 6 months. Bottled with very light clarification and filtration. Medium intensity and persistence, a broad and complex bouquet with hints of ripe fruit, jam, and blackberry, with more delicate notes of quince and plum. Ruby red with a purplish edge, very clear. On the palate, it is dry and savory, well-structured, full-bodied, and with a good depth of flavor. Balanced acidity and a light tannic sensation are evident. Good persistence on the palate and nose, with a pleasant finish.

From this winery

• Start up year: 1970
• Oenologist: Piero Cella
• Bottles produced: 180.000
• Hectares: 30

It all began in far-off 1970 with the commitment and enthusiasm of a wine-grower who firmly believed in his dream: to promote both the typical wines of Usini and his region with its unique features. Far-sighted and wise, and supported by a passionate desire to know and experiment, the patriarch Giovanni Cherchi brought an ancient native grape species, Cagnulari, to the fore once more.

Despite the success achieved, we remain true to our roots and consider ourselves first and foremost winegrowers; protagonists of each production phase, from the vineyard to the bottle, and custodians of this farming, cultural and human heritage. Today, we still safeguard and promote the environment in which our wines have originated: an intertwining of fragrances and sensations of wind and sun, of land and people. Read more
