Vermentino di Sardegna Cala Reale 2025

What kind of wine it is

Sella & Mosca Cala Reale is a still white wine made exclusively from Vermentino grapes. In the glass, it displays an intense straw yellow colour with brilliant greenish highlights. The bouquet blends tropical notes, hints of Mediterranean scrub and aromatic herbs with a distinct saline character. On the palate, it reveals warm tones of ripe fruit combined with a pronounced briny savouriness, offering a refined texture. The sip finishes with a long, mineral aftertaste, perfectly balanced by lively natural acidity.

Where it comes from

This wine originates from the Alghero area, from vines grown on ancient marine soils rich in limestone, a key factor in the wine’s mineral profile. The vineyards, trained using the spurred cordon and Guyot methods, benefit from sea breezes that enhance the grapes’ organoleptic profile. A true expression of Vermentino di Sardegna, this white wine reflects the island’s authentic territorial vocation, bringing the Mediterranean character and freshness typical of the coastal environment to the glass.

How it is produced

The production process begins with a cold pre-fermentation maceration, which helps extract aromatic precursors without altering the raw material. This is followed by gentle pressing, static decantation and fermentation at a controlled temperature, avoiding malolactic fermentation to preserve the lively acidity. The wine then matures through a brief period of ageing in stainless steel on fine lees, a technique that imparts depth and structure. This meticulous process results in a white wine ideal for pairing with delicate fish dishes, seafood and fresh cheeses, best served between 12 and 14°C to fully appreciate its potential.
