Sella & Mosca 'Anemone' Rosato (Rosé) Alghero DOC 2024

Sella & Mosca Alghero Rosato DOC is a vibrant and contemporary Sardinian rosé from the coastal vineyards of Alghero. Crafted from Sangiovese and Grenache, this is a beautifully balanced rosato that captures Mediterranean freshness with a refined, textural edge.

Its intense orange-pink hue immediately signals character. The nose opens with crisp red apple, peach and ripe strawberry, layered with cherry, violet and a subtle whisper of cool smoke. On the palate, it is elegant yet generous - tart strawberry fruit meets lively acidity, while brief skin contact lends the faintest touch of tannin and a delicate creamy note on the finish. Plush yet fresh, it’s full-flavoured without being heavy, finishing smooth, savoury and quietly persistent.

Perfect as an aperitivo, or paired with light first courses, white meats, grilled vegetables or a long Sardinian-style lunch by the water.
