The red grape Grenache is a mainstay of the Mediterranean wine world from southern France and Spain, where it is known as Garnacha, to the Italian island of Sardinia, where it’s called Cannonau.
What unifies these areas is a climate that is hot and dry conditions in which the variety thrives. A great introduction from Sardinia is Sella & Mosca’s 2017 Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva.
Sella & Mosca, with its 1,200 acres of vineyards, is the largest wine estate in Sardinia, the second largest in Italy, and one of the biggest in Europe. Although it grows other varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Vermentino, and Sauvignon Blanc, it is best known for its Cannonau.
