Winemaker Notes
Costera shows the typicity of the Cannonau grape with flavors of very ripe strawberries, black cherries, herbs, and spices. The warmth and intense sunlight of southern Sardinia can be seen and felt in the wine with unexpectedly deep color and fullness on the palate. French oak barriques provide rounded tannins and flavors of vanilla.

Meat cooked over an open flame is an artform in Sardinia and specialties such as spit-roasted suckling pig or lamb seem perfect for the rich and complex flavors of Cannonau.

Professional Ratings
89 Wine Enthusiast
A juicy but umami nose on this wine begins with black cherries, blackberries and plums. Aromas then turn to soy sauce and salty seaweed crackers. Saline notes remain prominent on the palate alongside dark berries mixed with roots and soil, with tannins standing at attention.

89 Wine Spectator
A bright, medium-bodied red, with pretty ripe strawberry and milk chocolate notes accented by fresh thyme and orange peel, revealing light tannins. Cannonau, Bovale and Carignano.
