From the sun-drenched, mineral-rich soils of Sardinia, the 2023 Cantina Gungi Cannonau is a vibrant and highly expressive red. The nose is bright and inviting, with notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, and dried rose petal, layered with hints of licorice, wild herbs, and a distinct dusty minerality. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and juicy, with a core of pure red fruit framed by fine, supple tannins and a bright, persistent acidity. The finish is long, clean, and intensely savory, echoing with the characteristic Mediterranean scrub and mineral tension. A superb, authentic island red.
