Marchese Di Villamarina Alghero Riserva D.O.C. 75cl (1997) SELLA & MOSCA

Only Cabernet Sauvignon grapes harvested from vines planted on iron-rich clay and sandy soils in the Alghero region are used to make this impressively rich, yet mellow red. Maturity is engrained into the wine from 18 months ageing in small French oak barrels, followed by another year spent in the traditional large casks plus 18 months in the bottle. This 1992 vintage is hailed as one of the most expressive ever due to the perfect climatic conditions throughout, giving the wine a longevity of no less than 15-20 years. It has exceptional structure, intense ruby ​​red colour, an intense and well-balanced nose with herbaceous tones plus austere oak thanks to aging. The warm, broad flavour, with the presence of tannins not totally softened by the wood, confirms an exceptional richness accompanied by a great complexity of sensations.
