There are also hints of cinnamon, cigar box and gingerbread spice.

On the finish, this wine from the wine-growing region of Sardinia, which has good ageing potential, finally delights with good length. There are again hints of plum and blueberry. Mineral notes from the sand and clay-dominated soil are added to the finish.

Vinification of the Marchese di Villamarina Alghero from Sella & Mosca

This balanced red wine from Italy is made from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety. In Sardinia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and sandy soils. After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off.
