Marchese di Villamarina Riserva 2019

The Marchese di Villamarina wine is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon with an aristocratic character. It is produced in Alghero in Sardinia from a vineyard selected for its original soil, rich in ferrous clay and sands. Together with the warm, bright and breezy climate of the area, this environment produces a Cabernet Sauvignon with a typically Mediterranean taste: fruity, warm, captivating and sensual. It is a truly exclusive wine, a source of pride not only for the Sella & Mosca winery, but also for the whole Sardinia; it demonstrated the potential of the Sardinian terroir to give life to wines of great personality and class with one of the most famous and worldwide appreciated vine variety.

The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature with a long maceration in contact with the skins. After racking, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages for 18 months in barrique, half of which are new every year. Subsequently the wine ages for one more year in bottle before being ready to leave the cellar.
