A Cannonau that harmonises origin and structure – that's how Costera feels in the glass. The grapes come from the old sand and limestone hills of the south-east facing vineyard of the same name, where the intense sun and cool sea breeze combine to ensure aromatic ripeness and multi-faceted minerality. After controlled fermentation, the wine matures for around five months in barriques and cement tanks. The colour in the glass is a deep ruby red with a fine garnet hue. The bouquet unfolds with intense but not overpowering aromas: ripe strawberry, black cherry, herbal spice, cedar wood and subtle spicy notes. In the mouth, Costera shows deep fruit, warm and yet without heaviness; juicy, clearly contoured, with elegant tannins and mineral freshness that brings clarity. The finish is harmoniously long, savoury, slightly salty and persistently seductive. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Cannonau di Sardegna Costera greets the senses with a minty freshness before giving way to nuances of citrus fruits, blackberries and spices. It opens with a well-balanced inner sweetness and ripe black fruits, which are surrounded by a lively acidity. Soft and enveloping, the 2022 finishes pleasantly dry with medium length, allowing the violet florals within to slowly fade away." Vinous

"The nose starts with wild cherries and wild strawberries, then new leather, cool eucalyptus and pepper. The palate is sweet with more wild cherries and strawberries, but then that peppery spiciness returns on the back of polished, smooth tannins." Wine Enthusiast
