Marchese di Villamarina Alghero DOC Riserva

A single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon from Sardinia's most famous winery – with the depth of long barrel aging and the Mediterranean character of the island.

Sella & Mosca has been cultivating around 500 hectares near Alghero in northwestern Sardinia since 1899 – one of the largest contiguous vineyards in Italy. The Marchese di Villamarina is the estate's flagship Riserva: named after the founder, made exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon, and aged for several years in small oak barrels.

In the glass, it shines a deep ruby ​​red with violet reflections. The nose reveals blackcurrant and blackberry, underpinned by tobacco, cedarwood, and a hint of dried herbs. On the palate, velvety tannins, fresh, well-integrated acidity, and a long finish with vanilla and spicy wood notes.

Serving temperature 17–18 °C, drinking window until 2030. Pairs well with braised lamb shoulder , aged Pecorino Sardo or a hearty venison ragù.
