Made from \u003cstrong\u003eTorbato\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, vinified in steel and partly in barrels with ageing on the lees, it displays bright golden reflections and a bouquet reminiscent of Mediterranean scrub, thistle and medicinal herbs. On the palate, the initial softness evolves into a dry and savoury sip, enriched by mineral nuances and \u003cstrong\u003emarine notes\u003c\/strong\u003e. The lively acidity ensures persistence, making it an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant aperitif\u003c\/strong\u003e and the ideal companion for seafood starters, shellfish, fresh cheeses and baked fish dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in northern Sardinia, from vineyards grown on \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous soils\u003c\/strong\u003e of marine origin that inspire its name. The vines, protected from excessive heat thanks to the Sardinian pergola system, benefit from a unique coastal microclimate. The grape variety boasts ancient roots: introduced by the Phoenicians, it became established in local agricultural tradition during the Catalan period. Sella \u0026amp; Mosca has dedicated years to researching this variety, enhancing its deep connection with the \u003cstrong\u003eMediterranean landscape\u003c\/strong\u003e and the identity of the \u003cstrong\u003ecoastal territory\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003ecold pre-fermentation maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by gentle pressing and static decantation. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, mainly in steel and for a small portion in wood. To preserve its natural freshness, malolactic fermentation is not carried out. The wine gains complexity thanks to \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for six months. This maturation period, carried out between steel and \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, gives roundness and breadth to the sip, while maintaining the varietal expression of the fruit intact.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced to Sardinia by the Phoenicians, the ancient \u003cstrong\u003eTorbato grape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e has deep roots in the history and Catalan heritage of Alghero.
