Winemaker Notes
Cannonau Tzappù 2021 is a vibrant expression of Sardegna's flagship red grape variety. The grapes are cultivated in vineyards characterized by sandy and granite-rich soils, which contribute to the wine's elegance and minerality. Following hand-harvesting, fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's natural aromas. The wine is then aged for a short period in neutral vessels to maintain its fresh and fruity profile. Expect aromas of red berries, Mediterranean herbs, and a hint of spice, with a medium-bodied palate and smooth tannins. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
The Story
Gianfranco Siotto, was born in 1967, he is a firefighter by profession but his family has been producing bulk wine for four generations. This producer has been considered the best producer of bulk wine in Mamoiada for many years. This is the first year that he bottles his wine called "Tzappu" and we can proudly say that it is all the fault of Rimessa Roscioli. When we went to visit him we were so enthusiastic about this wine that we literally forced him to bottle it. "Tzappu" is the result of two very small vineyards, one about 20 years old, the other 60-70 years old for a total of just over one hectare so we are really talking about a very confidential production.
