‘Maimone’ Cannonau
di Sardegna DOC
The most popular red grape in Sardinia finds in the valley of Oristano a perfect area to grow, thanks to the proximity of the sea and the mild climate, creating medium-bodied, balanced, and elegant wines. Maimone is firmly structured, offering warm aromas of ripe red fruits. An excellent match with all manner of entrees, game and red meats, and cheeses.
