CARDEDU, CALADU CANNONAU DI SARDEGNA
$19.99
Decomposed granite soils give a freshness to the wines. Native grapes like they should be: Sergio is obsessive with bottling only the 100% of variety on label. Sadly, lots of Vermentino have Sauvignon Blanc: lots of Cannonau, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

FUN FACT: One of our colleagues life goals was to eat the Sardinian cheese Casu Marzu, you know the rare Pecorino cheese with live maggots that makes a creamy – yet illegal – goodness. We made this happen at the Cardedu winery in 2012 with *many* a glass of Vermentino.
