SELLA & MOSCA

Situated in the northwest corner of Sardinia, just inland from the pretty, historic port of Alghero, this 1,600-acre property with more than 1,200 acres of vines is one of the largest wine estates in Europe. In Italy and elsewhere in Europe, wine connoisseurs and industry professionals rate Sella & Mosca among Italy’s most outstanding wine estates. Sella & Mosca’s I Piani estate in Sardinia constitutes the second largest neighbouring vineyard in Italy and counts itself among the country’s most impressive wineries.

Sella & Mosca, which celebrated its centennial in 1999, was founded by Messrs. Two Piedmontese businessmen (Sella and Mosca) revered to this day for their prominent roles in the Risorgimento (Italy’s 19th-century unification movement). The property was owned by Campari and sold in 2016 to Terra Moretti, owners of Bellavista Franciacorta in Lombardy and Petra in Tuscany.

As one of Sardinia’s foremost wine producers, Sella & Mosca is renowned for premium wines made exclusively from estate-grown grapes. In addition to native varieties such as Vermentino and Cannonau, the winery has successfully pioneered the introduction of international grape varieties, notably Cabernet Sauvignon.
