Winemaker Notes
An elegant wine with black and red berry aromas accented by herbal and earthy notes. Lively acidity is balanced by ripe tannins. Aged two years in large Slavonian oak barrels with an additional several months in bottle.

James Suckling
Very pretty, pure blackberry and hints of brambleberry on the nose. It’s full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a delicious finish with light tar, smoke and some wet earth. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator
This lovely red is enticing on the nose, with fragrant thyme and star anise aromas, while a tang of salty mineral on the palate underscores flavors of ripe black raspberry and orange peel, with a touch of savory Kalamata olive. Sleek and well-knit, this is a fresh, medium-bodied version, with snappy tannins firming the finish. Drink now through 2027.

A jewel in the Mediterranean, Sardinia is a rustic and enchantingly beautiful island with extreme geography and vinous diversity to tempt travelers and wine enthusiasts alike. Mr. Sella and Mr. Mosca fell in love with this land over a century ago and established Sella & Mosca, one of Italy's most renowned wine estates.
As Sardinia's foremost wine producer, Sella & Mosca’s premium wines are made exclusively from estate-grown grapes. In addition to native varieties such as Vermentino, Torbato and Cannonau, the winery has successfully pioneered the introduction of international grape varieties, notably Cabernet Sauvignon.
