Cannonau DOC from Sardinia

The Cannonau (also known as Cannonao, Cannonadu or Canunau) is the most popular wine from the island of Sardinia. It's mostly produced in the centre of Sardinia, even if we can find production of this famous wine in all the island.

The grapes used for this Sardinian wine is the Cannonau. (At least 90 % of this grapes has to be used to be certified as original Cannonau).

The wine has to be one year in Oak barrels before coming to the tables.

The history of the wine is not clear, but some experts believe the culture of Cannonau production comes from Spain.

The alcoholic content of the Cannonau is minimum 13 ° and some types of this wine can have 15° of alcoholic content (Dry Cannonau), and should be served at a temperature of 18-20°.

Cannonau is a very "strong wine" so it should be used with elaborate red meet and some types of cheese. We have to say though, that this wine is used with everything in Sardinia as it's the most popular wine in the Sardinian tables.
