The Cannonau enchants and achieves successes. The 2024 edition of Grenaches du Monde in Paris last Monday 13th confirmed the excellent moment of the wine produced from this grape variety and of Sardinian companies. Six island labels awarded with the Grand Gold Medal , the highest recognition provided by the international wine competition, 18 gold and 7 silver trophies .
«The Olympic edition of Grenache du Monde 2024 has once again proved to be an extraordinary showcase for showcasing Italian and particularly Sardinian wine excellences», explained Enzo Scivetti, Italy manager of the GdM . «The crisis in the sector and some logistical aspects did not favor wider participation as happened last year, but the results were even more exciting with the Sardinian Cannonau the absolute protagonist of the event . Six Grand Gold Medals and over thirty total medals seal a recognition of absolute value of which I am proud ambassador together with the team of Italian judges of absolute value who, in the context of an absolutely blind evaluation, were also able to demonstrate the excellence of our tasters". Scivetti then added: «I congratulate everyone, judges and participating producers: almost all the wines received medal scores but the award system which provides for a maximum percentage of winners did not allow us to further expand the number of medalists, unfortunately but my value was certainly recognized
