Costadoria “Mont’so” Cannonau di Sardegna DOC · Sardinia, Italy · 2017

The Moment

This is the bottle you open when you want something soulful, grounded, and quietly powerful — a red that feels rooted in place, full of warmth, and made for shared tables and slow evenings.

It’s the kind of wine that turns simple food into a full experience and invites people to stay a little longer.

What It Feels Like

The nose opens with lifted violet, rose petal, and ripe red fruit — cherries and wild berries layered with a soft floral perfume and a gentle earthy note that keeps everything grounded.

On the palate, the wine is dry, rich, and full-bodied yet surprisingly fresh. Sweet cherry and red berry fruit sit alongside savory herbs and a subtle caramel warmth that gives the wine depth without heaviness.

There’s a lovely balance between structure and softness — smooth texture, refined tannins, and a persistent, savory finish that lingers in a calm, satisfying way.

This is Cannonau with elegance and energy — expressive without being loud.

Why We Love This Bottle

Cannonau (Grenache) from Sardinia always brings warmth and generosity, but this one adds freshness and lift. It’s bold enough for hearty food, yet balanced enough for easy conversation.
