Sella & Mosca Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva DOC 2017 Review

If you see this label, just grab it. Then walk over to the pork section of your supermarket and get ready. This wine is not only a medium bodied, balanced crowd pleaser, but will take the flavor of a roasted or grilled pork dish up to eleven. It has a deep dark cherry notes on the nose and some aromas that will remind you of fresh turned earth. It has just the right amount of acidity to keep the wine bright, while still getting all deep to match the dish. You gotta try this wine.
