Sella & Mosca was founded by Mr.Sella and Mr. Mosca when they arrived in this region and immediately fell in love. Today, this winery is one of the most renowned and biggest estates on the whole island.

Sella e Mosca’s huge 1,600-acre vineyards -the second largest estate on the island, and one of the largest in Europe,- are located in some of the top appellations on the island, and they’re planted with local grapes like Vermentino, Torbato, and Cannonau, and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon..

Carignano del Sulcis, is one Sardinia’s main appellations. It is located between the Iglesiente Mountain Range and Capo Teulada. Sella e Mosca’s 14-acre beautiful estate is placed in an outstanding terroir composed of sandy and rich soils, and it's very close to the beach. The result is wines with soft tannins, amazing structure, and fine and fresh acidity.

Aging: 12 months in second-use French barrels. 

100% Carignano. Intense ruby red with purple hues. Aromas of ripe raspberries accompanied by spicy notes and floral scents, with a touch of vanilla. Rich and concentrated with firm, round tannins, and flavors of cherry and red fruit.
