Sella & Mosca Tanca Farra D.O.C.

SELLA & MOSCA – Tanca Farra

ITALY  –  SARDINIA – Alghero

Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cannonau.

A complex nose suggest both the complexity of the Cannonau and the strength of the Cabernet with hints of oak. A well-structured palate with smooth, complex tannins and balanced acidity.

Both grape varieties are harvested manually and mechanically from September through October at the peak of maturity. After crushing, each variety undergoes a three-day cold maceration, followed by a temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats at 72°-82°F for ten days. Only in the final phase of fermentation are the two varieties blended together. Aging: Three years, at first in barriques and then in traditional large Slavonian oak casks kept in cool dark cellars. Aged a further 12 months in bottle prior to release.
