The Cannonau di Sardegna DOC of the Faragò Estates is a red wine with unique characteristics, made from 100% Cannonau grapes, the prince of red grape varieties in Sardinian wines, which expresses itself with structure, balance and elegance in the estates’ areas.

The soil on which these grapes are cultivated is characterized by clay and silt with the presence of significant limestone blocks on an extension of 3 hectares, with Guyot training form.

The grapes, hand-picked in crates, are gently crushed and pre-fermentatively cold macerated. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks for about 10 days at 25 °C with continuous pumping over to extract the noble substances in the skins. Aging takes place in stainless steel tanks for about 6 months before bottling.

Tenute Faragò’s Cannonau di Sardegna DOC reveals a deep ruby red color to the eye, and the nose is intense with hints of red fruits typical of the varietal. On the palate it is dry, fresh and pleasantly smooth, a wine with good structure and persistence but also great drinkability.

Eclectic in its gastronomic pairings, it can be paired from appetizers to earthy first courses, red meats and game, or with medium-aged cheeses. Recommended to be served at a temperature between 16-18 °C to best appreciate its delicate aromas and flavors. A wine experience not to be missed for fans of Sardinian red wines.
