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.
