Quartomoro 'Memorie di Vite CNS' cannonau (grenache) 2019

The Cella family winery near Oristano in western Sardegna make really interesting wines, often from obscure, near extinct local varieites. This flagship red is made from cannonau, and Sardegna is the only part of Italy where you'll find it.

Winemaker Piero Cella has gone for a mid-weight, elegant style, leaning slightly more towards pinot noir than say Côtes-du-Rhône in style. Soft enough to serve with fish, but probably best suited to pasta and ragù.
