winemaker's notes:
In the most outstanding vintage years, Sella & Mosca produces a Riserva version of its Cannonau, made from grapes picked in selected portions of its Cannonau vineyards. Aged three years in oak prior to release, this aristocratic red will sustain a decade or more of aging.
Sardinia's premier wine estate, Sella & Mosca, is known on the Italian mainland and elsewhere in Europe for its remarkably fine and distinctive wines. Sella & Mosca ranks among Europe's most progressive wine estates and comprises the second largest contiguous vineyard in Italy.

We were given this bottle as a gift from a restaurantuer. We really enjoyed the "light fruit" taste with our pasta & meat sauce. This was our first Sella & Mosca experience, and we will definitely look for it again.

Oh my gosh! The best wine I have ever tasted for $12! I typically prefer Bordeaux style wine and I usually dont touch a wine under $15, so I was very reluctant to try it at a tasting, but now I am hooked. 3 years in the barrel gives this wine alot of character. It is light, fruity and perfectly balanced. Try it.

This 100% cannonau (grenache elsewhere) is surprising light and pleasant. A nice fruity bouquet lingers through the finish. Overall a great value for the price. Very drinkable now and does well on its own as well as paired with a light meat dish.
