Sella & Mosca - Vermentino di Sardegna 2023

Sella & Mosca was started in 1899 by an engineer (Sella) and a lawyer (Mosca). Together, they purchased land bordering the pretty, historic port of Alghero on the northern coast of Sardinia, to establish a nursery for rootstocks. At the time, phylloxera was ravaging Europe, but as Sardinia is detached from the mainland, the island could harvest phylloxera-free baby vines, which were then sold in other regions of Italy and southern Europe.
