This crowd-pleasing red wine has a little something for everyone. It’s made from a rare Sardinian varietal and is packed full of jammy fruits. You’ll taste raspberry, cherry and strawberry with hints of milk chocolate and mineral.

The island of Sardinia is a wonderful vacation destination for obvious reasons. The beautiful warm sea, white-sand beaches and perfect climate are a draw, as is another of the region’s specialties: wine. Vermentino is certainly the best known varietal and has made Sardinia’s best whites since the 14th century or so. The Cagnulari grape is a rare Sardinian variety grown on the island’s northwestern quarter and the wines are seldom found beyond the island. Vintner Antonella Ledà d’Ittiri is a new winemaker from old Sardinian nobility. Fifteen years ago, she bought 45 acres on the island’s northwest peninsula and planted them to grapes and olives, which she now farms with her daughter Annamaria.
Together with its spicy flavors and Italian origins, this wine will be excellent with pork, lamb, veal or robust poultry dishes that incorporate strong flavors and a hint of warm spices. An antipasti platter also makes a great match. Seek out artisanal salumi and a variety of olives, peppers, eggplant and mushrooms for a savory spread that will show off the wine’s mineral side.
One Sardinian family really does have the key for long life. Consolata Melis celebrated her 105th birthday this August and eight of her siblings, between the ages of 99 and 78, were around to watch her blow out the candles. In fact, the Melis family has been named the longest-living family in the world by Guinness World Records. The nine siblings—six girls and three boys—have a combined age of 818 years.
