Cannonau is a grape that is grown in Sardinia. It is also known as Grenache. It can give very strong wines. The producer Sella & Mosca is situated ner the town of Alghero in Sardinia. This company was founded maybe 130 years ago. They have a Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva from 2014 with and ABV of 14%. I don't get so much on the nose. The taste is quite strong with some hard tannins. I get some sour cherries, tobacco and spices. This will gain complexity with a few more years of ageing but is good today. Maybe not for people who don't like tannins.
From Tuscany and the town of Montalcino we have the producer Campogiovanni. I have tasted their Rosso di Montalcino from 2015. It consists of 100% Sangioveseand the ABV is 13%. I get red fuits on the nose. The taste is of black currant, red cherries and some smooth tannins. A very good wine.
