Impressions of Pirovano Nuraghe Supramonte Cannonau di Sardegna
The Cannonau is a complex grape. Not an everyday, easy grape. It resists taming. Fortunately, in Sardinia, the unique conditions allow it to develop well. The northwest of the island offers the very best climatic conditions, thanks in part to the cool sea. Nevertheless, the Pirovano Nuraghe Supramonte Cannonau di Sardegna still clearly retains its necessary spiciness: abundant herbs and spices. But also rich dark fruit notes such as blackberries, cherries, and plums. The slight tartness of currants tingles on the tip of the tongue. Cedarwood and vanilla emerge on the finish, bringing the complexity of the Pirovano Nuraghe Supramonte Cannonau di Sardegna to a peak.
