Savvy sippers know Cannonau as the Sardinian name for Grenache — a grape famed for its wines in the Rhône Valley and Spain's Campo di Borja. In Sardinia the wines strike an interesting balance between Rhône-like rusticity and the sappy fruit flavors found in comparable Spanish bottlings. The century old Sella & Mosca winery holds a tremendous amount of vineyard land that allows them to offer a consistently quaffable Cannonau from vintage to vintage, and this wine is generally the starting point for interested consumer looking to explore the wines of Sardinia. This wine's strawberry and herb aromas and flavors work well with rustic pasta dishes, meat lover's pizzas, and braised meat dishes.
