I tried a 2018 Sella & Mosca Reserva (in 2022) and it didn't knock my socks off. I don't remember a barnyard smell or taste though. Recently read that Sardinian Cannonau contributes to longevity on that blue zone island, so I'm going to explore more examples of this wine. Also heard that some 3000 year old grape seed was excavated by archeologists in Sardinia and it tested to be Cannonau, evidence that Grenache derives from Cannonau, not vice versa.
I've tried to find these wines in multiple wine stores and nobody carries them. I asked why and nobody knows. Must be some kind of big secret or something??? Looks like the only way I can get my hands on some is order it on line.
It's definitely not the easiest wine to locate. I have it in my department. I try to have at least one in the store all the time. If you have a boutique wine shop near you, they may be able to locate one. Good luck!
Great breakdown. Trying Cannonau di Sardegna!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the information.

Wine is very healthy in moderation. Great review my friend. Their Mediterranean diet doesn't hurt either.
Agreed!

Cannonau wines are consumed more for health in Sardinia with wheat products, fish and vegetables than meats.
Loved what you shared 😊😊😊
Thanks!

@@StanReitanStanTheWineMan Is your shop in the United States? If so, do you have a website so I can purchase from your store?
The store I work at is in the United States. Depending on where you live, I could ship it to you. There are some states I can't ship to. Let me know.

How do I buy a bottle of Atha Ruja?
I'm not sure I've ever heard of that one. Do you want me to do some research?
