Cantine Di Dolianova
Dolia Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva
Sardinia, Italy
Dark garnet purple. Abundant nose and medium full palate of Montmorency cherry, raspberry compote, and herbs with a touch of anise on the lengthy finish. Medium acidity. Medium tannins. A wonderful expression of Italy's take on Grenache. Great pair with beef and cookout fare, but also with hearty Sardinian or Tuscan dishes. Drinking beautifully nine years on. Should be as good through at least 2028.

Enjoying this a lot. And the price… enjoying it even more. Opened it yesterday and it wasn’t ready so we let it sit for 24 hours. Still don’t think it’s quite there - probably needs another two years minimum. Didnt expect that. Dark purple and light red tones. Pipe tobacco and dark fruit notes on the nose, a bit of dried cherry and rose petals. Lots of depth there, very nice gothic bouquet. :-) There’s beef steak blood and graphite mixed with dark cherry and plum. Going to buy a case!
