Regulations for the Sardegna Alghero Rosso DOC allow the inclusion of any Sardinian red grapes except for aromatic ones. Sella & Mosca use a seamless, fifty-fifty blend of Cannonau and Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve this beauty. Juicy black fruit enrobed with fine tannins make this suave, muscular wine a pleasure to drink now. It is the opposite style to Sella & Mosca’s red-fruited Cannonau but shares the same balance and alluring hint of bitterness in the finish. It would be a fine choice for grilled meat.
