ABOUT THE WINERy:

Sella & Mosca is one of the most famous and important production realities of our peninsula and with its 541 hectares of vineyards it is among the largest in the whole continent. The property first passed into the hands of the Campari group and was recently bought by Vittorio Moretti, president of the Terra Moretti Group and owner of the Bellavista winery. The brand that symbolizes Sella & Mosca depicts a bas-relief from ancient Egypt in which five men squeeze the grapes using sticks. In addition to the estate in the province of Alghero, Sella & Mosca also adds possessions of 15 hectares in Gallura and 6 hectares in Sulcis. Inside, a surprising variety of vines are grown, more than 1500 biotypes, from local ones such as Vermentino, Cannonau, Torbato and Carignano del Sulcis, to international ones such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which are flanked by a large number of Mediterranean plants such as maritime pines , palms and eucalyptus trees. Biodiversity and eco-sustainability are the philosophical principles that the estate has been pursuing uninterruptedly for years. The soils have variable morphological composition, but they have in common the high quantity of limestone, the marine sedimentary origin and the scarce quantity of water. The climate is Mediterranean and very hot, constantly ventilated by pleasant breezes that rise from the sea. From this unique scenario, characterized by exclusive environmental elements and a long winemaking tradition, the most famous wines are born which, like few others, manage to express the essence of the Sardinian land.
