Antonella Corda Cannonau Di Sardegna 2023
From £34.95
Why Mark chose this
Cannonau is the grape Sardinians have been growing for centuries, and it makes some of the warmest, most generous reds in Italy. Antonella Corda is the granddaughter of the legendary Antonio Argiolas, so this is proper family-vineyard stuff, not a commercial operation. At the price it's a lovely find, and it will suit anyone who wants something a little different from the usual Italian suspects.

Tasting Notes
Antonella Corda, the granddaughter of famed viticulturist Antonio Argiolas, founded her eponymous Sardinian winery in 2010 after completing a Masters degree in viticulture and winemaking at the prestigious Edmund Mach Foundation. Her approach blends proud, century-old family winemaking traditions with ambition and innovation. Antonio lived to the age of 104 and left Antonella two of his prized vineyards, located around the village of Serdiana, a few kilometres north of Cagliari. Here, the mild climate, water availability and rich calcareous soils create wines with a unique character and signature freshness. Antonella follows a sustainable approach and farms her vineyards organically. This wine shows the typical aroma profile of the Cannonau: aromas of cherries, raspberries and blackberries accompany more complex and delicate notes of roses and white pepper. The palate shows concentration and very delicate tannins with a spicy hint of white pepper on the finish
