2021 Sella & Mosca Carignano Terre Rare Riserva Sardinia

The Secret to Living Forever? It's in the Glass.

The real fountain of youth has been hiding in plain sight on sun-drenched Sardinia, one of only five legendary "Blue Zones" where people routinely waltz past 100. While the world frantically searches for longevity hacks, Sardinians have been casually sipping their way to centenarian status for millennia with their beloved daily glass of antioxidant-rich Cannonau.

Sardinia is unique. This amazing Italian island, located in the Mediterranean Sea, is home to some of the rarest wines in the country. Wine Spectator said that this island “has everything it needs to produce great wines.” And that it “offers a chance to dive into a little-known wine region that's really starting to shine.” 

This island has some of the Mediterranean's most ancient winemaking histories. Winemaking is in the blood of the Sardinian people. We aren’t joking around - winemaking dates to 1200 B.C. on this island, making it a floating artifact of wine history. Sardinia produces outstanding red wine grapes that keep all wine lovers on their toes with their mysterious origins and delicious character.

Sella & Mosca was founded by Mr.Sella and Mr. Mosca when they arrived in this region and immediately fell in love. Today, this winery is one of the most renowned and biggest estates on the whole island.

Sella e Mosca’s huge 1,600-acre vineyards -the second largest estate on the island, and one of the largest in Europe,- are located in some of the top appellations on the island, and they’re planted with local grapes like Vermentino, Torbato, and Cannonau, and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon.

Carignano del Sulcis is one Sardinia’s main appellations. It is located between the Iglesiente Mountain Range and Capo Teulada. Sella e Mosca’s 14-acre beautiful estate is placed in an outstanding terroir composed of sandy and rich soils, and it's very close to the beach. The result is wines with soft tannins, amazing structure, and fine and fresh acidity.

100% Carignano. Intense ruby red with purple hues. Aromas of ripe raspberries accompanied by spicy notes and floral scents, with a touch of vanilla. Rich and concentrated with firm, round tannins, and flavors of cherry and red fruit.

Aging: 12 months in second-use French barrels.
