Cannonau in the Sardinian landscape

Cannonau di Sardegna offers an island-wide reference for the grape.

Cannonau is the principal grape of Cannonau di Sardegna. The denomination spans the island, bringing together inland slopes and coastal environments. Frequent winds, particularly the Maestrale, and dry Mediterranean summers belong to this setting. Classico and the named subzones give more closely defined geographical routes through the island’s Cannonau wines.
