The 2006 Cannonau di Sardegna Firmadu opens with sweet, beguiling aromatics that lead to dried cherries, sage, underbrush and licorice, all of which come together beautifully in a mid-weight, understated expression of Cannonau, Sardinia’s Grenache. The Firmadu offers gorgeous length and a delicate finish, but it needs some air to come together. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014. Importer: Tricana Imports, Plainview, NY; tel. (516) 935-4080
