Producer Cantina Marco Canneddu

The Cantina Canneddu is a family-run business located in Mamoiada. Born in 2015 from the will of Marco, to transform his passion and years of study at the faculty of oenology of Oristano in his profession, and produce a natural wine and character, which transmits to those who taste it, all the facets of the place in which it is born. Marco's passion for wine was transmitted by his father Tonino, who inherited two hectares of vineyard from his in-laws and started producing wines for domestic use. The vineyards are composed of old rows of cannonau with an average age ranging between sixty and eighty years, located in the hills between 650 and 800 meters, on a granite decay. Marco and Tonino cultivate the vineyard according to the dictates of organic farming: tractors prefer the plowing done with oxen, the only means able to pass between the narrow rows, and perform maximum two treatments a year with sulfur and copper . The harvest is manual, and in the cellar the fermentation takes place spontaneously using only indigenous yeasts, while the refinements take place in exhausted oak tonneaux for about a year. Marco is helped in his work by his mother Anna and his sister Grazia who develop and take care of the commercial and administrative side. Three wines are produced: the Zibbo, their most representative wine, obtained from Cannonau grapes, grapes that also serve for Rosato, and Delissia, the white wine of granatza grapes.
