Description
What kind of wine it is
Alghero Parallelo 41 by Sella & Mosca is a still white wine with controlled designation of origin that embodies the sun-drenched essence of Sardinia. This blend of Sauvignon and Torbato, fermented in wood and matured between steel and barrels, expresses an intense and persistent aromatic profile, with clear floral and exotic fruit notes. On the palate, it offers a soft and enveloping texture, supported by a pleasant freshness and balanced acidity. Thanks to its elegant structure, it is the ideal companion for seafood dishes, pairing beautifully with lean fish and shellfish, as well as selected cheeses.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates from vineyards located in the Alghero area, in a coastal region refreshed by sea breezes. The name refers to the geographical parallel that ideally links the Sardinian city to Barcelona, celebrating a Mediterranean and cultural connection. The vines are trained on espalier with Guyot pruning, with a planting density aimed at ensuring a balanced yield and maximum aromatic expression. Sella & Mosca carefully oversee every agronomic phase to enhance the identity and characteristics of the Sardinian territory.
How it is produced
Production begins with destemming and gentle pressing, followed by static cold settling of the must. Fermentation in new French oak barrels gives the wine, from the very first stages, a significant structure. This is followed by maturation for about eight months, partly in steel tanks and partly in second and third passage barrels. This choice allows the integration of primary aromas with greater gustatory complexity. To best appreciate its harmony, a serving temperature of 12-14 °C is recommended.
History and Curiosities
The elegant Alghero Parallelo 41 originates from the prestigious Sella & Mosca winery, founded in 1899 by two Piedmontese men captivated by the charm of Sardinia. This refined label pays tribute to the geographical parallel that links Alghero to Barcelona, celebrating a deep Mediterranean bond and shared traditions. Under the guidance of oenologist Giovanni Pinna, the union between Sauvignon and Torbato is expressed in an intense aromatic profile, offering a glass that tells the authentic story of the Sardinian territory with incomparable charm.
