Firm, upright reds with precise acidity and angular tannins, showing aromas of sour cherry, plum, dried herbs, leather, black tea and balsamic notes. Characteristically bitter, savoury finish. Star of Chianti Classico DOCG, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and Morellino di Scansano. Italy's most planted variety, a descendant of Ciliegiolo × Calabrese di Montenuovo.
IGT of eastern-central Sardinia, from the Gennargentu massif (1,810 m) to the Tyrrhenian Sea, wild schist and granite terroirs. Cannonau (local Grenache) dominates as the signature red — deep ruby with intense notes of ripe cherry, blackberry, plum, garrigue, myrtle and a spiced-balsamic touch, round tannins and a generous, solar palate. Monica, Bovale and Carignano in complementary reds. Fresh Vermentino and indigenous Nasco in whites.
