Teularju, Barbagia Rosso, 2022

World-class Cannonau from the wild heart of Sardinia. The Sedilesu family farms eight hectares in Mamoiada, deep in the Barbagia mountains, where granitic soils, high elevations (up to 736 meters), and dramatic day-night temperature swings produce Cannonau (Grenache) of stunning purity and lift. Organic, hand-tended, and made with a featherlight touch, the 2022 Barbagia Rosso is a fresh, pure expression with wild strawberry, rose petal, and pink peppercorn notes layered over mineral granite bite. Forget the heavy, alcoholic Cannonau of yesteryear: this is the new Sardinia, electric and energetic. A genuinely thrilling bottle for the price.
