Sardinia Italy’s Red Wine Grape “Cannonau”

Sardinia’s history as a wine growing region dates back to The Ancient Greeks. Cannonau is the region’s indigenous red wine grape. Here at The Grape Explorer we encourage the discovery of unique wine grapes so that consumers do not solely rely upon the better known varietals. Cannonau is rich with mineral tone and has been heralded as a benefit for cardiovascular health, in tune with Sardinia’s renown as a “Blue Zone” for citizens thriving for 100 years or more. These are top value wines that retail under $25. Drink now or age in the cellar
