Cantina Santa Maria La Palma Le Bombarde Cannonau di Sardegna DOC
Cantina Santa Maria La Palma / Alghero, Cannonau di Sardegna DOC, Sardinia, Italy
The Smooth, Sun-Baked Coastal Cannonau Sipper
Deep ruby-red with warm garnet highlights. The nose is open and inviting, showing ripe aromas of red cherry jam, dark plum, dried Mediterranean herbs, wild myrtle, and a subtle touch of sweet spice. Medium-to-full-bodied on the palate with smooth, rounded tannins, well-integrated warmth, soft acidity, and a clean, savory fruit finish.
⭐⭐ (Sits at around 13.5% to 14% ABV. Vinified cleanly with short wood refinement, it delivers classic Cannonau depth while remaining smooth and manageable for a weeknight dinner).
Roasted pork loin, grilled sausages, Sardinian malloreddus with sausage ragù, semi-aged pecorino, or grilled lamb chops.
A fantastic counterpoint to the heavy mountain Cannonau from inland Sardinia. Santa Maria La Palma’s Le Bombarde lets the coastal sea breezes soften the grape's natural intensity. You get plenty of ripe cherry, plum, and wild herbs, but with rounder, silky tannins that make it instantly accessible. Pure, sun-soaked Sardinian red value.
