La Cala Vermentino di Sardegna DOC

Vermentino is the soul of Sardinia – and the La Cala from Sella & Mosca shows why: fresh, aromatic, with a salty note reminiscent of the island's sea air.

Sella & Mosca is one of Sardinia's oldest and most renowned wineries. The estate, located near Alghero in the northwest of the island, has been cultivated since 1899 – today it encompasses over 500 hectares, one of the largest contiguous vineyards in Italy. La Cala is their most approachable Vermentino: vinified simply, without oak, and focused on freshness and directness.

Straw yellow in the glass with greenish reflections. The nose offers white blossoms, fresh fennel, and a hint of lemon zest. On the palate, a slightly creamy texture, lively acidity, and a crisp, slightly salty finish – typical of the Vermentino grape in its Sardinian homeland.
