Cannonau Riserva 'Inu' Contini 2020
Cannonau Riserva 'Inu' Contini on rikas ja intensiivinen sardinialainen punaviini, joka on valmistettu Cannonau- ja muista paikallisista punaisista rypäleistä. Puutavaran kypsytys antaa sille hienovaraisia mausteisia vivahteita, lakritsia ja kanelia, jotka täydentävät punamarjojen, luumujen ja mustikoiden aromeja, kun taas maku tarjoaa täyteläisen ja pehmeän suun täytteen, samettiset tanniinit ja pitkän, kestävän jälkimaun. Sopii hyvin sardinialaisen keittiön liharuokien kanssa
Sardinian Cannonau Riserva 'Inu' from the family-run Contini estate represents a full and enveloping interpretation of the most famous Sardinian grape variety. We are in the heart of the Sinis peninsula, a land of great historical and scenic interest, where since the late 1800s the Contini family has been committed to enhancing the wine-growing excellence of the area. The Cannonau 'Inu' belongs to the "Excellences" line, representing the finest expression of Cannonau produced by the winery.
'Inu' Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva Contini is based on a solid foundation of Cannonau grapes with an addition of 10% of other black grape varieties from the area. In particular, it is a selection of grapes from the Terre di Ossidiana, Monte Arci vineyards and part of central Sardinia, planted in volcanic soils located at altitudes reaching up to 200 meters above sea level. After harvesting, the bunches are transferred to the winery and vinified in red through alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with 10-15 days of maceration on the skins. This is followed by gentle pressing and then aging of 12 kuukautta barrique- ja tonneau-tynnyreissä ensimmäisen ja toisen käytön puusta, joka edeltää pullotusta ja vähintään 6 kuukauden lisälevyä lasissa.
Contini Riserva 'Inu' Sardinian Cannonau has a dark ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe black fruit and plum, combined with hints of licorice and spices like cinnamon. The tasting is full, rich, and enveloping, with a silky tannic structure and a pleasant savory finish supporting the good overall structure. Due to its significant structure, this Cannonau needs to be paired with flavorful dishes, such as first and second courses of red meats or aged cheeses.
