Wine Profile / Tasting Notes
The Cannonau di Sardegna Granadu 2022 from Tenute Smeralda is a distinguished red wine that beautifully represents the terroir of South Sardinia. This wine boasts a bright ruby red color that evolves to garnet with age. The bouquet is intense and complex, featuring aromas of berries and cherries that mature into scents reminiscent of Mediterranean scrub and island spices. On the palate, Granadu is well-structured and powerful, offering a harmonious balance between vibrant acidity and firm tannins. The wine is aged in stainless steel and further refined in the bottle before release, ensuring a polished and elegant finish.
