Dolianova Anzenas Cannonau di Sardegna DOC 2017 (Italy)

Description

• Forest fruit
• Intense flavours
• Dark fruit
• Warm mouthfeel

A deep ruby red in the glass with light garnet hues developing with age. Intense, long-lasting, ethereal and heady, with tantalising hints of forest fruits. Warm and enveloping, this wine has a good body and balanced tannins. This wine is best enjoyed at least one year after harvesting to allow the product time to age in the bottle. It is a medium-aged wine, created to be consumed 3-4 years after the harvest.

Territory surrounding the winery is characterised by medium texture soils composed of clayey limestone of Miocene origin, medium height slopes and sub-arid climate.

After de-stemming and crushing, the grapes are initially fermented for 8-10 days at a temperature of 26°C. The wine is drawn off and transferred to vitrified cement tanks, where malolactic fermentation takes place, then it is aged for a few months. It is not available for consumption before the 1st April following the harvest.

Food Pairing: Roasts, game and mature cheeses.
