The first vintage of this Riserva Cannonau from Mamoiada in central Sardinia, a region showing outstanding potential. The Mamoja sticker on the neck symbolises that Mussennore are part of the Mamoja Association, 1 of only 21 wineries, established in 2015 to promote higher standards than those required of the Cannonau di Sardegna DOC. This provides the guarantee that the wine has been made at low yields, with manual harvesting and the use of indigenous yeasts.
This wine is made from 50 year old vines and spends 2 years in oak, followed by a further year in the bottle. This is a bold riserva with beautiful elegance.
Tasting Notes:
A pronounced perfume of wilted rose, cherry liquor, toast, vanilla, cloves, carob, capers and rosemary. A powerful fruity wine, full bodied with a long elegant mineral and balsamic spicy finish.
Serve at 18-20°C.
