Alghero Sella & Mosca 1966
The 1966 Alghero from Sella & Mosca is a red wine originating from the island of Sardinia, Italy. The estate was founded in 1899 when two Piedmontese men, engineer Erminio Sella—nephew of the renowned statesman Quintino Sella—and lawyer Edgardo Mosca, traveled to the island to establish a wine project. Located on the northwest coast near the Catalan-speaking town of Alghero, Sella & Mosca grew to become one of Europe's largest single estates. The property covers over 600 hectares, with 541 hectares dedicated to vineyards, a scale that has given the producer a unique position in Sardinian winemaking.
This specific wine is made from Girò, a rare Sardinian grape variety of Spanish origin. While it is most frequently found in the Cagliari area and across Sardinia, it is typically utilized for sweet and fortified wines. The wine is bottled at 14 percent alcohol in a 720-milliliter format.
Sardinia's geography is rugged, characterized by granite and limestone, with vineyards stretching from the wind-swept coasts to the wild, mountainous interior known as Barbagia. The Alghero area features a distinct Mediterranean climate with dry, warm summers and mild winters. The vineyards are moderated by the characteristic Mistral wind from the sea, which leaves salt deposits on the vines. The local soils are highly varied, consisting of dolomitic limestone, quaternary plain sediments, and volcanic rocks. Although Alghero officially received DOC status in 1995, long after this 1966 vintage was produced, the area has a deep historical connection to Catalan culture dating back to the 14th century and is recognized as Sardinia's most international wine region.
Over the years, Sella & Mosca has expanded its portfolio with vineyards in Gallura and Sulcis. In modern times, the ownership of the estate has transitioned; it was held by the Campari Group from 2002 until 2016, when it was acquired by the Terra Moretti group, driven by Vittorio Moretti and his daughter Francesca.
