Serata Sarda – Sardinian Evening

Sella & Mosca is a phenomenon of nature. Its home is in Alghero, an enchanted corner of Sardinia, where it was founded by two adventurous men from Piedmont, from whom it takes its name: Sella, an Engineer and the grandson of the prominent statesman Quintino Sella, and Mosca, an Attorney.

It was 1899, and their exploits still have a pioneering tinge, singular and exemplary. Naturally, large-scale adaptation was required to transform what had been vast and uncultivated tracts of land into a winemaking concern: thousands of boulders of all sizes were removed and the wild scrub forest tamed to make room for the vineyards. Finally, a state-of-the-art wine cellar was built. A huge undertaking,which is still evident by some sandstone outcroppings that mark the distinctive landscape.

Even today, the winery is characterised by this spirit of innovation, driven to express the characteristics of the Sardinian terroir in the best way possible, just as its founders conceived it. Sella & Mosca is a kaleidoscope of aromas, colours and flavours, see-sawing between past and future.
