What to Expect

Grenache is the main grape in many Rhone blends and most Cotes du Rhone and Chateaunuef-du-pape. It's a grape that yields soft, lightly colored yet full wines endowed with deep notes of strawberry and raspberry. While not prone to producing particularly rich or complex wines in France, Grenache is one of the world's most widely-planted grapes, producing unique expression where ever it is planted. It is particularly common in Spain as Garnacha, and Sardinia, as Canonnau,

Carnevale 2005 was one of only 4 Sardinian wines to make the "Vini Dell'Eccellenza" list in the 2008 L'Espresso guidebook. It's a heady 15.5% alcohol, which is strong even for a Sardinian Cannonau (though not quite as weighty as its big brother, the stupendous Ballu Tundu, which weighs in at 16%). Ruby red in colour and full of vanilla, spices, woody forest fruits and cherries; tannin notes are elegant and smooth and less obvious than in a Turriga by Argiolas, for example. This is a top-of-the-range Cannonau that sells for about €22 in Sardinian off-licences and about €35-€40 read more...
