Tenute Sella & Mosca

Sobre la bodega y los vinos

Built in 1903, the winery has lost nothing of its old charm. Today it houses the cellar for the ageing of the finest reds, in traditional barrels made from prized Slavonian oak and in small casks of Allier, Nevers and Tronçais oak. Next to the old cellar is the building named after the Marquis of Villamarina, Don Francesco Pes, who received the title in1774 from the King of Sardinia. The building on the Sella&Mosca estate is still home to several historical exhibits, uniforms and costumes from that time. The historic cellars are flanked by a modern winemaking complex in an unspoiled natural setting. Here tradition and innovation meet and complete each other in perfect harmony..

The sunny, windswept I Piani area North of Alghero is an excellent wine growing country, pervaded by fragrant aromas and characterised by a clear blue sky. It is the location of the Sella&Mosca estate, which covers an area of 650 hectares, 520 of which planted to vine. These vineyards are flanked by Sella&Mosca’s properties in Gallura, in the Northeastern part of the island (15 hectares) and in Giba, in the Sulcis region of the Southwestern coast, between Capo Teulada and the Iglesiente mountains (6 hectares). Each site has a different terroir and is characterised by unique environmental elements: arid, mineral-rich soil, clear air and a hot but breezy climate. This is the natural setting in which old traditional grape varieties express themselves in fine wines with a sunny, generous and unmistakably Mediterranean flavour.
