CanGrande, the mysterious wolf whose gaze seems soft, delicate... almost loving. Yet looking deeper there is a fierce fire in its eye... this wine presents itself the same way, young, delicate, slightly acidic and intensely spicy.

Wine Profile
Wine Profile / Tasting Notes
This wine boasts a very modern style, with a bright-red, deep yet clear color. It is intensely perfumed, featuring complex and rich spicy nuances derived from both the varietals and aging in Allier oak barriques. On the palate, it is elegant, with fragrant notes of small red berries. The slight natural acidity enhances its crispness, making it ideal for every occasion.

The vineyards are composed of predominantly sandy soils derived from decaying granite with a light clayish layer.

Limited production: 7,000 bottles. Delicate destemming and immediate temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks in order to preserve the varietal aromas of the grapes. Frequent automatic délestage, racking and vacuum pressing of the fermented grapes.

Winemaker Notes
"CanGrande.17" is the latest wine created by Tenute Olbios. The name pays tribute to the prestigious Vinitaly CanGrande award they received in 2017. The owner and winemaker, Daniela Pinna, was recognized as Winemaker of the Year for the Sardinia region. The label, titled "Wolf Like Me," is a work by Andrea Ambrogio, better known as "Gemello," a rapper and Italian painter.
Food & Wine Pairing
It pairs with medium structure dishes, pumpkin creamy soups and vegetarian meals in general. Great with beef tartare and beef fillet, but also with fish courses on succulent sauces, or simply as an aperitive with a board of cheese and cured meat.
Serving temperature 12° - 14° C.
