Teularju, Barbagia Rosso Ghirada Ocruarana, 2022
Eight hectares of Cannonau on granite in Mamoiada, divided into four parcels the Sardinians call ghiradas — and this is the bottling from Ocruarana, meaning "frog's eye," named for the green metamorphic stones (called 'ocruarana' in Sardinian) that turn up in the soil among the granite. Teularju is the project of Francesco Sedilesu and family (you'll recognize the Sedilesu name from Mamoiada's wider Cannonau renaissance), and these are old-school, terroir-driven Sardinian reds: native-yeast fermentation, twelve days on the skins in small wood, then malo and a year of aging in large 30- and 50-hectoliter oak casks. The 2022 is deep and complex, with balsamic cherry, lavender, and sweet spice; mineral and elegant for a wine of this latitude.
