Alghero, Marchese di Villamarina, Sella & Mosca

Only Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, harvested from vines planted on iron-rich clay and sandy soils in the Alghero region are used to make this impressively rich, yet mellow red. Maturity is engrained into the wine from 18 months ageing in small Bordeaux Tronçais oak barrels, followed by another year spent in the traditional large casks and then a period of bottle maturation prior to release. Shows an intense and mellow fragrant nose of red-fruits, blackcurrant and cedar. Classic mature Cabernet Sauvignon flavours are balanced by notes of vanilla-spice on the long and complex finish.
