Sella & Mosca Alghero Oleandro 2016
This wine is made from young Cabernet grapes grown along the avenue of oleanders on the Sella&Mosca estate, on sandy-clay soil with alluvial trachyte pebbles. The nose has fruity top notes, followed by the more austere varietal sensations typical of Cabernet. The freshness of the palate is underscored by a slight raciness and accompanied by elegant structure with clear varietal notes. It goes very well with Mediterranean starters and lean, simply cooked meats.

Colour

Star-bright pink with youthful highlights of deep scarlet.

Bouquet

A fruit-led attack from low-temperature fermentation gives way to the more austere, varietal personality of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Flavour

The palate’s freshness is brought out by faint prickle deriving from the early harvest, accompanied by elegant structure and varietal typicality whose initially swagger gradually softens into plush complexity.

Pairing

An excellent partner for the pastas and rice dishes of the Mediterranean kitchen or lean meat with light sauces.

From this winery:

Over a century has passed since two adventure-loving Piedmontese men began reclaiming the land on which the Sella&Mosca vineyard in Alghero now extends over 550 hectares. An enchanting landscape, a land full of promise and the fortunate encounter of ...
