Cantina del Mandrolisai

Growers of the interior · Village cantina

Sardinia’s Cannonau is among the oldest Grenache plantings in the Mediterranean. In Mandrolisai the vines stand on granite, and the wine is darker, drier, less polite than coastal bottles. Beside it, the cantina still bottles a little of the old white mountain blends — wines that were never meant for a list in Milan, and taste better for it.
