Sella & Mosca Cannonau Di Sardegna Riserva 2021

WE91

This Riserva from Sella & Mosca delivers the bold character of Sardinia in every glass. Expect ripe red fruit, savory herbs, and warm spice framed by smooth tannins. It’s a robust, full-bodied red with rustic charm that’s both expressive and approachable.

Vineyard & Winemaking

Grown on warm, sun-drenched inland terraces with soils of granite, schist, sandstone, and limestone, these Cannonau grapes develop rich, concentrated flavors balanced by natural freshness. After a late autumn harvest, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged for about six months in barrel to enhance complexity while preserving bright fruit character.

Tasting Notes

Opens with inviting aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and plum, accented by hints of sage, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle mocha. The palate is generous and silky, showing juicy berry fruit, polished tannins, and a touch of minerality. A warm, spicy finish rounds out this elegant yet hearty wine.

Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve at 60–65°F. Excellent with grilled lamb chops, roasted meats, rich tomato-based pastas, or aged cheeses. Decant briefly to allow the wine’s aromatics to fully express.

Wine Enthusiast

"The nose is herbaceous and peppery, with balancing undertones of ripe blackberries, salty soil and crushed rocks to cool things down. The palate is a blueberry tart with dark chocolate shavings served on a plate of smooth tannins that create a satiny mouthfeel."
