| "The vineyards are often surrounded by
eucalyptus trees to act as windbreaks. This is a key tidbit of
information for we believe they influence the wines' characteristics
and bring greater personality." Gambero Rosso,
Italian Wines 2005 Uncertified Organic Wine (Producer states they do not use artificial fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. While we cannot prove the veracity of this, we also have no reason to believe it is not true.) Tasting notes: Medium in body, aromatic and spicy, this is truly a Sardinian wine. Try it with eggplant parmigiana, pork, duck or chicken - and it is especially good with turkey!  Two bicchieri - "Cannonau di Sardegna Capo Ferrato Rei '03 has a balsamic nose and a pleasant , lively palate." Gambero Rosso, Italian Wines 2008RECENT VINTAGE - 2002 One bicchiere "It was another good year here, especially for the reds. Cannonau Rei '02 is ripely fruited." Gambero Rosso - Italian Wines 2006 |
