The wine

Bantu is Antichi Poderi Jerzu’s fresh, everyday Cannonau, and a lovely introduction to Sardinia’s signature red, the island’s name for Grenache. Fermented in stainless steel and rested in steel and cement to keep the fruit bright.

Ruby red, it brims with raspberry, red cherry and a waft of Mediterranean scrub, with supple tannins and an easy, savoury finish. Versatile at the table: pour it with roast meats, lamb, pasta and hard cheese. A little chill in summer suits it well.

The producer

In the remote hills of Ogliastra, on Sardinia’s wild eastern coast, the village of Jerzu has grown Cannonau for centuries. Its name is woven into the grape’s story: this single sub-zone produces a remarkable share of all the island’s Cannonau.

Antichi Poderi Jerzu was founded here in 1950, when the village doctor persuaded forty-five growers to pool their best plots and aim higher. Today the cooperative unites more than four hundred families, tending vines on schist and limestone slopes that tumble from the Gennargentu mountains towards the sea.

Under head winemaker Biagio Boi, with the renowned Franco Bernabei consulting, the wines run from bright, easy-drinking Vermentino and Cannonau to the flagship Marghia, drawn from old vines and aged in Slavonian oak.

This is Sardinia at its most authentic: a land of long-lived people and longer traditions, bottled with quiet confidence.
