Cherchi Cannonau di Sardegna 2025

Cherchi Cannonau di Sardegna 2025 is a still red wine that puts Sardinia’s signature Cannonau grape in the spotlight. Made by Giovanni Cherchi in Usini, it reflects the producer’s long-standing commitment to local wines, begun in 1970.

Tasting Notes
Clear ruby red with violet hues, it opens with aromas of ripe fruit, blackberry and jam, alongside delicate notes of quince and plum. The palate is dry, full-bodied and rounded, with balanced acidity, gentle tannins and a harmonious, lingering finish. The supplied information does not specify its cellaring potential; it can be enjoyed for its fruit-forward character.

Production
The grapes come from hillside vineyards around 200 metres above sea level in Usini, where calcareous soils with clay elements shape the wine’s character. Vines are trained on vertical trellises and pruned using the Guyot method; the grapes are typically harvested in the third ten-day period of September at phenolic maturity. After destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place on the skins for eight to ten days at controlled temperatures, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for around six months in stainless steel tanks and wooden casks, then lightly filtered.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with grilled or roasted meats, lamb, savoury sausages or aged cheeses. A brief rest in the glass should let its aromas open; decanting is optional rather than essential.

Producer
Giovanni Cherchi has been making wines from the Usini area since 1970. The estate’s 30 hectares of vineyards give the winery a strong connection to its local landscape, and this Cannonau di Sardegna DOC is presented as an expression of that Sardinian heritage.
