Cardedu Caladu Cannonau di Sardegna 2019
Cadedu’s vineyards {car-DAY-do} vineyards are on the island of Sardegna, in its most mountainous and sparsely populated southeast.
The local Cannonau grape is fermented with native yeasts in cavernous cement tanks under the house; it’s dry-farmed without pesticides or herbicides.
A spicy and smokey grape variety, Cadedu’s old vines (avg. 50 years old) provide an uncommon depth to the fruit. Decomposed granite soils keep the wines fresh.
Spice and smoke mingle with fleshy fruit of red plums and raspberries. Pair with all things grilled.
