Barrosu in the Sardinian language means bols, stubborn, arrogant and is a nickname that, with great self irony, Giovanni Montisci gave ro his wine and to himself.
The Cannonau grape of Sardinia, genetically a close relation to Grenache is ...the island’s quintessential red grape, it yields one of Italy’s grandest rossi. In the center of the island, Giovanni Montisci makes robust and regal Cannonau, which gives the best Châteauneufs a run for their money. With intense flavors of blood orange, brambly fruit, licorice, and herbs, Barrosu is perfectly suited to a wide range of meat slow-cooked over coals.
Cannonau is grown all over Sardegna, but the town of Mamoiada, in the island’s mountainous interior, could be considered one of its grand cru sites. With a mere 5 acres of vines and a radically artisanal approach, Giovanni Montisci has established himself as one of Mamoiada’s foremost ambassadors. He has earned a cult-like following for his distinctive Cannonaus from organically farmed 60 + year old vines grown in clay and sand-based soils up to 2100 feet elevation. The chilly nights here allow for slow and steady ripening, preserving precious acidity.
