2023 Cala Reale Vermentino, Sella & Mosca

Sardinia, Italy

Or as we call it – The “Sea Breeze in a Bottle” White

This wine captures the sunlit essence of Sardinia’s coastal terroir, freshness, elegance, and pure Mediterranean charm. Brilliant straw-yellow with greenish reflections, it opens with tropical fruit, citrus peel, and a brush of herbs, with just a whisper of salty sea breeze. On the palate, it’s crisp, zesty, and layered: orchard fruit, lemon zest, and a touch of pineapple glide over that trademark savoury, salty nuance, before finishing long and mineral.

For when: the sun’s still warm, the seafood’s on the grill, and you want the evening to taste like holiday.
Pairs with: shellfish, light pastas, or just a glass in hand as the first aperitif.
If this wine were a person, it’d show up in linen, barefoot, and somehow make it look chic.

Over a century ago, two Piedmontese adventurers, Mr. Sella, an engineer, and Mr. Mosca, a lawyer, explored the uncultivated land of Sardinia. They instantly fell in love with its natural beauty and saw the potential of the terroir; thus Sella & Mosca was born. In 1899, the recovery of the land started and in 1901 the first vineyard was established. In 1903, the cellars were constructed; the historic cellars are still used today for ageing the wines. Located just over six miles from Alghero, in the Northwest of Sardinia, Sella & Mosca’s 520-hectare vineyard sits on ancient, sun-kissed lands where the grapes are imbued with salinity and minerality from the proximity to the sea. The mosaic of terroirs is captured in additional vineyards in Gallura and Sulcis, where the nuances of the sites add character to the wines. In 2016, Sella & Mosca joined the Terra Moretti family. With a strong focus on sustainability and biodiversity, the estate is certified by Equalitas. Oenologist Giovanni Pinna translates the grapes into stylish wines that capture the essence of the exceptional terroir of Sardinia

The fruit was carefully sorted ensuring the best quality was destined for Cala Reale. The gently pressed grapes underwent a cool pre-fermentation maceration at 10°C for 24 hours followed by cold settling. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperatures with selected yeasts. The wine did not go through malolactic conversion retaining its crisp style. A brief ageing on the fine lees took place in stainless steel tanks, to retain the purity of fruit and the nuances of the terroir.
