The Alghero Torbato DOC "Terre Bianche Cuvée 161" from Sella & Mosca is a refined example of how an almost forgotten grape variety can be revived in a spectacular form through the art of winemaking. This wine is made exclusively with Torbato grapes, an ancient native variety of Sardinia, which the Sella & Mosca winery passionately and dedicatedly cultivates in the picturesque vineyards of Alghero.
The cuvée 161 is named after a particular block of the "Terre Bianche" vineyard that stands out for its rich limestone and clay soil, ideal conditions that bestow Torbato with its distinctive minerality and elegance. The coastal microclimate, with its sea breeze, further enhances the wine's freshness and aroma.
In appearance, it presents a pale straw-yellow color with greenish reflections, suggesting its youth and freshness. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet: citrus notes, especially grapefruit and lime, meld with nuances of white flowers and a subtle mineral touch.
On the palate, the Alghero Torbato "Terre Bianche Cuvée 161" surprises with its lively acidity, well balanced by its structure. The aromatic persistence is remarkable, leaving a clean and pleasantly fresh aftertaste. This wine is an excellent choice to accompany flavorful fish dishes, seafood, or as an intriguing aperitif.
Ideal for those looking for a white wine different from the usual, capable of telling the story and terroir of one of Italy's most beautiful wine regions, the Alghero Torbato DOC "Terre Bianche Cuvée 161" from Sella & Mosca is a testament to the Sardinian wine renaissance.
