Barrosu Cannonau di Sardegna


A bit fuller and denser than the 2018... it should exceed it in a few years

The best from Sardinia, one of the best Grenache I have ever had. Crazy complex, persistent and expressive nose and palate. Texturallly reminiscent of those sandy soiled, fine tannin ala Chateau Rayas.

Antica Terra Collective Tasting. An herbaceous grenache?? Is it possible? A plume of rosemary and thyme aroma in the face that doesn’t back off. Strawberry fruit plays in the background.

Vino scattante, carattere giovane e di grandi aspettative, seppur già coinvolgente nella sua prima annata. Di colore rubino brillante, profumi di frutto e bosco, la botte completa con tabacco e liquirizia, ma non copre. Nonostante il grado alcolico, che non disturba, il sorso richiede più assaggi. instancabilmente. Intrigante.
