MAIMONE, A SPLENDID CANNONAU
Cannonau di Sardegna is certainly the most famous and most popular red wine in Sardinia. Not surprising since it is the most common grape variety on the island, with nearly 30% of Sardinian wine production. It is actually a variety of Grenache that was imported in the 14th century, at the beginning of Spanish colonisation of Sardinia. Today, Cannonau is an appellation of origin (DOC) and Maimone is considered among the best. We will appreciate it naturally with all the Italian specialties (pasta and pizza), but particularly also with red meats, game, or typical roasted lamb or suckling pig. And of course accompanying hard cheeses, especially Parmesan and Pecorino.
