Sella & Mosca Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna, Sardinia D.O.C., Italy: Sella & Mosca Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna, Sardinia, Italy is a bold and characterful red made from the island’s signature Cannonau grape, known elsewhere as Grenache. It opens with mature aromas of violet, ripe plum, blackcurrant and jam, layered with notes of spice and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is medium to full-bodied, dry and well-structured, showing warm dark fruit, balsamic hints and subtle toasted oak, with balanced acidity leading to a long, gently spiced finish at around 13.5 to 14% alcohol. Fascinating fact: Cannonau is one of the oldest grape varieties in the Mediterranean and is deeply tied to Sardinian culture, where it thrives in coastal winds and rocky soils that give the wine its distinctive herbal and savoury character. Serve it at cool room temperature. Drink: 2025-2027. 425488 14% XD 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 90/100. August 15, 2025 Best Value Red Wine. Full Review
