winemaker's notes:

In the most outstanding vintage years, Sella & Mosca produces a Riserva version of its Cannonau, made from grapes picked in selected portions of its Cannonau vineyards. Aged three years in oak prior to release, this aristocratic red will sustain a decade or more of aging.

Sardinia’s premier wine estate, Sella & Mosca, is known on the Italian mainland and elsewhere in Europe for its remarkably fine and distinctive wines. Sella & Mosca ranks among Europe’s most progressive wine estates and comprises the second largest contiguous vineyard in Italy.

Grape Varieties 100% Cannonau
Color Rich red Bouquet Intense with scents of violet.
Taste Well-rounded and supple with rich, ripe, plummy flavors.

I would buy this wine again

I first tried this wine in a upscale restaurant while visiting Boston. I had never heard of Cannonau before, but it's actually a ganache. I liked it so much I bought 4 bottles while there. (I had to walk back to my hotel and that was all I could manage to carry. They do not sell this in my area. Finally found it on wine.com. Yeah!

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
