Cannonau
Cannonau, a dry, full-bodied red, is one of Sardinia's most well-known wines, accounting for around a fifth of Sardinia's wine production. Elsewhere, it is known as Grenache. While there is much speculation, Cannonau may be native to Sardinia and have spread to France and beyond from there. While it can be aged, it is also delicious when enjoyed young.

Tasting notes
It is known to have red berry (raspberry and strawberry), plum, and tobacco notes along with hints of chocolate and coffee from time spent in oak. Cannonau has mild acidity and a deep colour. It will pair well with lamb's pastoral and grassy flavour. A lamb ragù would work particularly well with Cannonau. Additionally, as lamb dishes are very common in Sardinia, this is a natural pairing where the local wine complements the local food.

The Cantina del Vermentino-Monti winery produces this dry red wine, which has moderate tannins and acidity as is typical of a Cannonau. It will pair beautifully with any lamb pasta dish.
