Varietal

Cannonau

Cannonau, also known as Grenache in France and Garnacha in Spain, is a red grape variety native to the Mediterranean region. It thrives in warm, dry climates and produces wines that are full-bodied, fruity, and rich in alcohol. Cannonau wines typically exhibit flavors of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, along with spicy notes of black pepper and herbs. They are often characterized by their soft tannins and low to medium acidity, contributing to their smooth and approachable nature. What makes Cannonau unique is its versatility; it can be vinified into various styles ranging from light, fruity reds to more robust, age-worthy wines that develop complexity over time. The grape's adaptability to different terroirs within the Mediterranean basin allows it to express nuances of soil and climate, offering a diverse range of flavor profiles that appeal to a wide audience of wine enthusiasts.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
