Cannonau di Sardegna Crobia

Wines

Cannonau is the soul of Sardinia — an ancient grape whose roots on the island may stretch back over three thousand years, long predating its fame elsewhere in the world. At Fattoria Cuscusa, nestled in the historic Marmilla hills of Oristano, the brothers Cuscusa have farmed this land organically for decades, coaxing from its volcanic soils a Cannonau that is utterly true to place — clean, mineral, and alive with the warmth of the Mediterranean sun.
