Introduction:
The 2022 Cantina Santa Maria La Palma Le Bombarde Cannonau di Sardegna is a vibrant and expressive red wine that showcases the bold yet elegant character of Sardinia’s signature grape, Cannonau (Grenache). With its ripe fruit, Mediterranean herbs, and silky tannins, this wine is a true reflection of the island’s unique terroir.
Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards near the coastal areas of Sardinia, the vines thrive in sandy and clay-rich soils under a warm Mediterranean climate. The proximity to the sea provides cooling breezes that help maintain freshness and balance in the grapes.
Appearance:
Medium ruby red with garnet reflections.
Nose:
Aromas of ripe red berries, cherry, and plum, intertwined with hints of wild herbs, black pepper, and a touch of earthy minerality.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with soft, velvety tannins and bright acidity. Flavors of red currant, raspberry, and dried strawberries are complemented by subtle spice, floral notes, and a hint of balsamic. The wine is fresh, fruit-driven, and easy to enjoy.
Finish:
Smooth and lingering, with red fruit and a touch of Mediterranean herbs.
Overall Impression:
A beautifully balanced Cannonau that highlights the sun-kissed charm of Sardinia. Its bright fruit and supple texture make it an excellent pairing for grilled meats, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and aged cheeses.
