Aoife Carrigy - New Great Reds to try

SELLA & MOSCA CANNONAU DI SARDEGNA, 2020

"Cannonau is Sardinia's take on Grenache, often produced in an intense style with 15pc alcohol levels to boot. Sella & Mosca applies a much lighter touch in the fresh version, with aromas of red plums, violets and blood orange matched by a sappy minerality: perfect for tapas and chats."

DOMAINE POCHON CROZES-HERMITAGE ETIENNE POCHON, 2019

"Rhône Syrah flexing its muscles here, and worth decanting to give full expression to its black fruit lozenge character, pepper and liquorice spice, and its dense textural quality with velvety tannins. Superb with duck confit with mushrooms and chestnuts."
