Among the various "cantine" that produce Cannonau, I prefer the sub-type Nepente. It comes from the area known as Barbagia (cities of Nuoro, Ovodda, Oliena, etc...), and it probably represents my idea of "ancient". <br />Another common and appreciated kind of Cannonau is the one produced in (the city of) Jerzu and in its surrounding area.sergiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301461447308379042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-87894012968053831002011-02-23T08:53:09.101-08:002011-02-23T08:53:09.101-08:00Hello,

And the health benefits only add to the reasons. I lived in Sardedgna for 2 years and I miss this the most.Also with cheeses, so good!

Wine Expo often carries wine from Sardinia (also called Sardegna), and they currently list several bottles for under $20 (http://www.wineexpo.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=383&Itemid=279).

The two under $15 I've tried were both great drinkers. understand cannonau is grenache, but I think they are very different than chateauneuf-de-pape, which I love, but always find a bit cloying. If this is rustic, I like it. Simple, earthy, full bodied and not too much fruit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-86734240021395135972008-07-02T03:08:00.000-07:002008-07-02T03:08:00.000-07:00Ill second that Craig.
