Tasting Notes: The I Garagisti di Sorgono Cannonau Manca is a bright, fresh red from the Cannonau grape, a biotype of Grenache, offers sharp flavors of red berries, baking spices and wild herbs. Grown at an altitude of 2200 feet, the heat of the day is offset by cooling breezes and a nightly chill that allows the grapes to develop more aromatic complexity while maintaining a much needed acidity.
Estate History: I Garagisti di Sorgono is a micro-winery from Sardegna that is inspired by the Vins de Garage movement that begain on the Right Bank of Bordeaux in the 1980’s. At that time some of the best winemakers from Saint-Émilion decided to put the strict rules of the appellation system aside to make incredibly rich, ripe wines, full-bodied and powerful.
I Garagisti is located smack-dab in the center of Sardegna, in the mountains between Barbagia and Campidano in an area known as Mandrolisai. Childhood friends Renzo Manca, Simone Murru, Andrea Macis and Pietro Uras farms vines of Monica, Muristeddu and Cannonau that were planted some 60 to 80 years ago by their grandparents. Make no mistake, these wines are not quiet. Powerfully dense, dark in color and high in alcohol, almost like an Amarone but from the quiet rusticity of Sardegna, these are red wines are impossible to ignore. Their efforts to make these brazen, bold wines has not gone unnoticed with various medals from Decanter in recent years and most importantly, being listed as one of Top-100 wines of Italy.
