Cannonau, primarily associated with Sardinia, produces rich, full-bodied red wines known for their deep ruby color and robust character. Key aromas include ripe red fruits like cherry and plum, often accompanied by herbal and spice notes. Cannonau wines typically showcase smooth tannins and a hint of earthiness, making them versatile for aging. Interestingly, Cannonau is believed to be genetically linked to Grenache, and Sardinia boasts some of the oldest vineyards of this variety.
