Barrosu Cannonau of Sardinia 2023

A bold and stubborn Cannonau, from 65-year-old vines in Mamoiada, in the heart of Barbagia

If you are looking for an authentic Cannonau with great character, Barrosu is the wine that will win you over with its boldly Sardinian personality.

The name itself - which in Sardinian means "bold, stubborn, arrogant" - is a self-deprecating homage that Giovanni Montisci pays to his wine and to himself.

Produced from 65-year-old vineyards in Mamoiada, in the heart of Barbagia, and vinified with a prolonged fermentation of 25 days in small 1000-liter vats, this Cannonau expresses the full essence of the territory. Twelve months in barrels give a ruby red with hints of spices, wild berries, and Mediterranean scrub, with a fresh and elegant taste, full-bodied yet highly drinkable with a savory and mineral finish.
