This pure Cannonau from Sardinia has reached the ranks of the worlds elite ross. Its made from low-yielding old vines farmed organically, entirely by hand (with the occasional help of an ox) from sandy mountaintops in the village of Mamoiada. Barrosu offers a deep complexity and layers of flavor, like a nectar of freshly pressed strawberries with a savory, stony, dry finish. If youve enjoyed other serious ross like those from Dominique Hauvette, Domaine Tempier, or Tavel, Montiscis is in the same family: food-friendly, age-worthy, and ravishingly delicious down to the last drop.
