Description

The Cannonau DOC 2001 Nepente di Olena is a high-quality red wine from Sardinia, Italy. Produced by Nepente di Olena (noted for its expertise in both Tuscan and Sardinian terroirs), this vintage exemplifies the full expression of the Cannonau grape (Grenache), emphasizing depth, richness, and aging potential.

Tasting Notes:

The 2001 vintage is now fully mature. The nose displays aromas of ripe red berries, plum, Mediterranean herbs, leather, tobacco, and subtle spice. With aeration, tertiary notes of dried fruit, forest floor, and earthy mineral nuances emerge.

On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors of dried red fruits, spice, and mineral undertones dominate, complemented by savory and earthy layers. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, reflecting the power and finesse typical of mature Cannonau from quality producers.

Serving & Food Pairing:

Best served at 16–18°C. Gentle decanting is recommended to reveal the wine’s complexity and aroma fully.

Pairs well with:

Grilled or roasted meats
Game dishes
Rich pasta with tomato-based sauces
Aged Pecorino or other firm cheeses

Producer:

Nepente di Olena is an acclaimed Italian winery, best known for its Tuscan wines, but also producing exceptional Cannonau from Sardinia. The estate emphasizes traditional winemaking practices, vineyard selection, and careful ageing to craft wines with structure, elegance, and longevity. The 2001 Cannonau exemplifies the winery’s mastery of expressive and age-worthy reds.
