$13
regularly $16

Cannonau,  known as our good friend Grenache and Garnacha in other parts of the world, was brought to the island of Sardinia in the 13th century during Aragon rule. The name comes from the famous sea battle of Leranto in 1571 between the Ottoman Turks and just about every one else. The ships were said to be filled Courage, Cannons and Sardinian wine.

Sella and Mosca is a hundred plus year old winery spreading 1600 acres across the north west part of the island.(see map below)

Mario Consorte, the man behind the empire, describes Cannonau as "Vino Selvatico" (wild wine) because it evokes its untamed surroundings.

We've loved Sella & Mosca for years not just for its never ending quality but for it's price as well. There isn't another in the American market that can give up these truely robust yet elegant flavors in this price range.
