Sardinia

Wine from Sardinia comes out of Italy, where it sits as a wine region.

Growers build the wines around Cannonau, filling out the blend with Vermentino and Carignan.

The ground underneath is clay, granite and limestone.

The climate is maritime/oceanic, running sea breezes.

The vineyards themselves read as coastal, hills and island.

Red wine, white wine and rosé wine, plus two more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows crisp and refreshing and herbal and citrus characteristics.

Inside it sit Cannonau di Sardegna, Vermentino di Sardegna and Carignano del Sulcis.

At the table these bottles work with grilled meats, seafood dishes, pasta with tomato sauce and rich cheeses.

Serve chilled.

Keeps for 5 to 10 years.
