Sella & Mosca
セッラ・エ・モスカ
Sardinia's largest historic estate, pioneering the island's fine wine identity since 1899.
Founded in 1899 by engineer Erminio Sella and lawyer Edgardo Mosca in Alghero, Sardinia, Sella & Mosca began as a nursery supplying phylloxera-resistant rootstock across Europe before turning fully to winemaking in the 1950s. Today the estate spans roughly 650 hectares, with about 500 hectares under vine, making it one of the largest contiguous single-estate vineyards in Europe. In the late 1980s it produced Sardinia's first 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine, and in 2013 Gambero Rosso named it Italy's Winery of the Year. The estate is renowned for its iconic Marchese di Villamarina Cabernet Sauvignon, Torbato di Alghero, and Cannonau di Sardegna.
