Cannonau: the Red Giant of Sardinia
Cannonau represents the enology of red wines in Sardinia. Its origins have been debated for a long time and believed to be introduced from Spain, where it is known as Garnacha Tinta. Important archaeologic discoveries in Sardinia allowed the history of Cannonau to be rewritten as well as the history of viticulture of the Mediterranean area, by finding out the famous red grape is present in the island for at least 3200 years.
