Sella & Mosca 2012 Riserva (Cannonau di Sardegna)

Country: Italy / Riserva
Variety: Cannonau Sicily & Sardinia
Winery: Sella & Mosca / Cannonau di Sardegna

Boasting a rustic charm, this opens with earthy aromas of sunbaked soil, game, leather and black-skinned fruit. The gamy note carries over to the ripe palate along with hints of Mediterrenean brush, star anise and white pepper that accent a blackberry core. Chewy tannins provide the framework.
