WHO IS
SELLA & MOSCA
Sella&Mosca isn’t just a Sardinian winery—it’s a living legend. Founded in 1899 by mountaineer-photographer Vittorio Sella and his brother-in-law Edgardo Mosca, this coastal icon transformed the island’s wine destiny. Nestled in Alghero on the island’s northwest coast, Sella&Mosca boasts Europe’s largest contiguous vineyard: a sprawling, sun-drenched mosaic of 650 hectares (542 under vine) that feels more like a wine kingdom than an estate.
But the real magic? Variety. In Gallura, they craft zippy Vermentino. In Sulcis, it’s Carignano with serious critic cred. And their Alghero base delivers bold, structured Cannonau that keeps sommeliers and beach-goers equally smitten.
Famed wine critic Antonio Galloni calls them “terrific quality and tons of pure value.” Monica Larner dubbed the Carignano del Sulcis “a frankly ridiculous value.” Not bad for a winery that never forgot its roots while staying ahead of the sustainability curve.
Whether you’re sipping sun-kissed Vermentino or a rich Cannonau under a Mediterranean sunset, Sella&Mosca pours out Sardinia’s heart, soul, and terroir—one bottle at a time.

Vivino
A very aromatic wine with red cherry bordering on cola with a hint of baking spice. Higher alcohol, but low tannins. Very easy to drink. Flavours of red fruit, smoke, and violet add to the palette.
