CENTOSERE CANNONAU DI SARDEGNA DOC
Denominazione di Origine Controllata
Cannonau is the main red grape variety of Sardegna. Thanks to international university studies, its ancient island origin is certain, just as it belongs to the Grenache family, with which it shares part of its DNA. Cannonau is a son of Sardegna: proud, strong, and determined, but, at the same time, kind and elegant.
