Sella & Mosca Cala Reale Vermentino di Sardegna 2023

The Vermentino grapes for this wine come from the Alghero vineyard, which can be divided into four distinct areas characterised by different exposures, winds and soils. The ancient sedimentary soils range from clay-ferrous to limestone, and due to the
experience of agronomists and oenologists, the varieties are planted in the terroirs in which they truly thrive, and the varietal characteristics are enhanced. The vines are trained according to spurred cordon-Guyot methods and have an average age of 15
years. They are planted at a density of 4,545 vines per hectare. The climate is typically Mediterranean, which is positively influenced by the proximity of the sea, with mild winters, warm, dry summers, and favourable diurnal temperature differences. The Mistral wind, which is often rich in saltiness, combined with the proximity to the sea, impart the wines with saline notes and minerality. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably; the vines are surrounded by tree-lined avenues and Mediterranean scrubland to
encourage biodiversity. Integrated management is used to combat vine pests.
