Cannonau di Sardegna includes red, rosé, passito, and fortified styles, with a separate Classico grape rule.
An island-wide denomination holds several styles and named local expressions.
Cannonau di Sardegna spans red and rosé wines, Riserva, passito and liquoroso forms. Its territory is shaped by a Mediterranean climate and frequent winds, with the sea influencing the island’s vineyards. The full name on the label matters: local subzones and the Classico designation add more precise geography within the broader Sardinian denomination.
The general grape area covers Sardinia. The specification also defines the subzones Oliena or Nepente di Oliena, Capo Ferrato and Jerzu, and a separate area for Classico.
