Animosu Cannonau di Sardegna DOC 2022

A Cannonau of structure and elegance, 3 years of aging in steel and tonneaux

Produced from the granitic soils of Gallura at 500 meters, Animosu Cannonau di Sardegna DOC combines surprising structure and elegance in Gallurese Cannonau.

The grapes ferment at 24-26°C for about 18 days with pump-overs and punch-downs, followed by an additional 3-5 days on the skins to refine phenolic extraction. The wine ages for 2 years in steel tanks for natural evolution, then 1 year in second-passage French oak tonneaux, which add complexity while maintaining varietal purity.

In the glass, it offers an intense ruby red with violet reflections, with broad aromas of ripe red fruit, cherry jam, blackberries, and Mediterranean scrub, and a full, soft, balanced, and structured palate with fine, well-integrated tannins and a long, harmonious finish.
