Vigne Rada Alghero Riviera 2019 Cannonau Di Sardegna Red Wine 750ml

Vigne Rada is a young estate founded by Gino Bardino, a former banker who quit his office job to follow his dream of making wine. Gino and his family built a modest winery and began to plant vineyards on the slopes outside their home of Alghero, a colorful city on Sardinia’s northwest coast still distinguished by the cultural influence of fourteenth-century Catalan colonists. The folks at Vigne Rada grow only varieties traditional to the area, including Cannonau (known elsewhere as Grenache), likely an import from that period of Catalan occupation. This elegant island red—gorgeously perfumed of sweet fruit with a mineral note akin to rain on hot asphalt—suggests the grape is perfectly adapted to the local terroir.
