Cannonau

It is the most cultivated Sardinian black grape variety in Sardinia; it is closely related to the French Grenache and the Spanish Alicante. A rustic vine resistant to environmental adversities. Not many people know that there are different types: Red, Rosé, Riserva, Dry Fortified and Sweet Fortified. Clearly, the best known is the red one. The wines produced in Sardinia with the Cannonau vine generally have an important colour, aroma and structure. They are also characterized by a usually rather important alcohol content. It is a grape capable of giving elegant reds, but also suitable for ageing. It is perfect in combination with traditional Sardinian meat dishes, such as roast suckling pig (porceddu), kid or lamb, but also cheeses, especially if tasty and seasoned such as, for example, the classic Sardinian pecorino.
