In Italy and elsewhere in Europe, wine connoisseurs and industry professionals rate Sella & Mosca among Italy's most outstanding wine estates. Sella & Mosca's I Piani estate in Sardinia constitutes one of the largest contiguous vineyard in Italy and counts itself among the country's most impressive wineries. Situated in the northwest corner of Sardinia, just inland from the pretty, historic port of Alghero, this 1,600-acre property with more than 1,200 acres of vines is one of the largest wine estates in Europe.
Bright ruby color, with purple hues, the aromas project ripe red berry, including strawberry and raspberry jam. In the mouth, coffee, spices and herbs, including an aroma of violets, plummy fruit flavours and aristocratic oak overtone. Full, round, fruit forward, consumer friendly taste profile. Oak aged for two years in large Slavonian casks with several additional months in the bottle. Medium-bodied for food-friendly matchings
Vibrant, fresh and fruity, the 2014 Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva is an extremely well-priced red to pair with Sardinian gnocchi (malloreddus) topped with sausage tomato and saffron. In truth, any other basic Italian pasta recipe will do just fine next to a wine of this wide versatility and easy appeal. The bouquet possesses a dark core of cherry and red currant. There is light spice and bramble at the back. A whopping 700,000 bottles are produced, so it should be easy to locate this wine.
