Regular price: $19.99
Sale Price: $15.99
Costera, a name referring to hills, is made from Cannonau (Garnacha or Grenache). It is the workhorse red grape of Sardinia where it is likely to have arrived centuries ago from Spain, (although an alternative theory suggests that Cannonau originated in Sardinia and from there to Spain). Flavors of very ripe strawberries, black cherries, herbs, and spices jump from the glass. French oak barriques provide rounded tannins and flavors of vanilla. The warmth and intense sunlight of southern Sardinia can be seen and felt in the wine with unexpectedly deep color and fullness on the palate.
