Cannonau is one of the most characteristic flavours of Sardinia. With a dry and pleasant taste, with an intense colour. In short, a unique wine and appreciated throughout the Peninsula. To taste Cannonau in the land where it is produced, there are four destinations to visit, in the eastern part of Sardinia.
And this route is especially recommended if you are thinking of spending an autumn holiday in Sardinia.
A small town known, above all, for its sea and for the village of Arbatax. Tortolì can also boast a great food and wine tradition, linked to the world of shepherds. Here are produced different qualities of Cannonau wine. Wine that is also used in the preparation of typical dishes such as culurgiones (ravioli stuffed with cheese and potatoes).
Nothing could be simpler, you just have to board one of the ferries to Arbatax that depart from Genoa and Civitavecchia (ferries that you can book here, just use our online booking system). And don’t forget to take a car on the ferry to Sardinia, you will need it to reach the various stages of the itinerary.
In Sardinia, it is known as the “city of wine”. The town is built on several levels and is surrounded by vineyards that grow on the surrounding hills. In this area the red Cannonau DOC is produced.
From Tortolì, just take the strada statale 125var Orientale Sarda and then the strada provinciale 11 following the road signs to Jerzu. The journey by car takes about 35 minutes.
A special aroma and a high alcohol content are the main characteristics of the excellent Cannonau produced in the Mamoiada area. Country also known for its Carnival (thanks to the famous parade of Mamuthones and Issohadores – not surprisingly, one of the most important traditional events in Sardinia) and for the oak and chestnut woods.
From Jerzu, follow the road signs to the strada statale 389var di Buddusò e del Correboi and then continue to Mamoiada. The journey by car takes just 1 hour.
Agricultural village known for its natural beauty and, of course, for its wine. The Cannonau produced in Oliena is of the highest quality. So much so that he was remembered by Gabriele D’Annunzio in one of his letters.
From Mamoiada, just take the strada provinciale 22 and follow the road signs to Oliena. Less than 30 minutes and you will be there.
