In Sardinia, the Grenache grape is called Cannonau, a red grape variety with thin skin, low to medium acidity, and gentle tannins. Cannonau wines have recently become associated with longevity, because the skins contain high levels of polyphenols and are rich in anthocyanins, both of which have antioxidant properties linked to hearth health. The typical flavor profile of Sardinian Cannonau includes notes of peppery spice and tangy raspberry with a medium body.
