Sella & Mosca Tanca Farra Alghero DOC 2019 (750ML)
Details
A jewel in the Mediterranean, Sardinia is a rustic and enchantingly beautiful island with extreme geography and vinous diversity to tempt travellers 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. The estate was since founded in 1899, at a time where phylloxera was ravaging Europe. However, as Sardinia was detached from the mainland, the island could harvest phylloxera-free baby vines, which were sold in other regions of Italy and southern Europe.
Sella & Mosca’s produce are highly revered by wine critics around the world. Antonio Galloni (Vinous) has published “I always look forward to tasting the wines of Sella e Mosca, one of Sardinia’s most historic properties. These wines deliver terrific quality and tons of pure value.” His words were echoed by Monica Larner (Robert Parker) who wrote that its Carignano del Sulcis is “a frankly ridiculous value.” Their wines had placed Sardinia on the viticultural map and brought famed to the classic Cannonaus, brilliant Vermentinos and bold Carignan del Sulcis.
