Poderi Parpinello 'San Costantino' Cannonau 2024

The Parpinello family has run the vineyards and winery in the north of Sardinia with dedication and passion for three generations. Poderi Parpinello farms 35 hectares across three distinct locations on the Alghero coast, where the geographical diversity of the vineyards — from the sea near Castelsardo to the hills between Alghero and Sassari — gives the wines their unique freshness, structure, and minerality.

About This Wine

Cannonau is Sardinia's most celebrated red grape — the island's name for Grenache, which has been grown here for centuries and produces wines of real warmth and character. The San Costantino is a classic expression: dry, elegant, and medium-bodied, with the ripe red fruit and cherry character that makes Cannonau such a natural partner for lamb and grilled meats.
