PICCO DEL SOLE Cannonau di Sardegna, Picco del Sole 2008 Grape Varieties 100% Cannonau Food Matching Note: Great with red meats and hard, aged cheeses. Tasting Note: A typical Sardinian red with a deep ruby colour and a palate brimming with ripe fruit and hints of sweet spice. Good acidity, soft tannins and a well-balanced, persistent finish. Grape: Cannonau is the Sardinian name for Garnacha / Grenache. Location: Rugged Sardinia was once part of Aragon, and the wines have an echo of Spain. Flavour: Medium-bodied with concentrated fruit. USP: Round and modern, with some of the character of the rugged and remote island of Sardinia. Combined: A solid introduction to Cannonau (the Sardinian clone of Grenache), this wine is medium bodied but packed with flavour and ready for some meaty food. Vinification Note: The wine is traditionally vinified at a controlled temperature of between 25 and 27ºC. The wine is harvested in October and cellared for 4 years.
