Winery Review: 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.
My Review: I wish I had a pot roast to go with this wine. It smelled of black cherries, black pepper, and mowed grass. It tasted also like wet grass, licorice, and baking spices, and was very tannic on my palate. It was very dry and prune-like. I was not a fan of this wine by itself, but am sure it would be delightful with heavy foods.
I did not taste this wine with food.
