2024 Montisci “Clos Camilla” Cannonau di Sardegna

100% Cannonau (aka Grenache), farmed organically (uncertified) on a young, 2.5 acre plot on sandy granite soils at high altitude in the town of Mamoiada, in the heart of the island’s mountainous interior. Destemmed and fermented with native yeasts in open-top bins with daily punchdowns. Aged for a year in 1,500L oak botti. Unfined and unfiltered, minimal sulphur additions. 14.5% alcohol. A seductive perfume featuring loads of ripe sweet cherry and raspberry fruit alongside classic licorice (reglise) and Mediterreanean herbs on the nose. As with all Montisci wines, it offers impressive power, ripeness and depth paired with silky, refined tannins. Full bodied, with medium tannins and acidity. Very fresh despite the weight and power.
