Sella & Mosca Cannonau di Sardegna Medeus 2025

Sella & Mosca Medeus Cannonau di Sardegna 2025 is a dry red wine that captures the sunlit, Mediterranean character of Sardinia’s signature grape. Made from Cannonau grown near Alghero, it combines generous red-fruit flavour and a full-bodied palate with fresh acidity, silky tannins and refined balsamic detail. The wine reflects the long-standing Sardinian tradition of Cannonau, interpreted through the expertise of the historic Sella & Mosca estate.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a clear ruby-red colour. Its inviting bouquet opens with aromas of red-fruit preserve, followed by notes of Mediterranean scrub, violets and balsamic herbs that evoke the island’s warm coastal landscape. On the palate, Medeus is fresh, flavourful and pleasantly full-bodied, with a rounded, enveloping texture. Soft tannins give the wine a silky feel, while balanced acidity keeps the generous fruit lively through a long, harmonious finish. It is approachable in its youth, yet its structure and careful maturation allow it to develop further over the short to medium term when properly stored.

Production
The Cannonau grapes are sourced from vineyards near Alghero, within the historic Sella & Mosca estate. The vines are trained using cordon pruning with spur pruning, while careful vineyard management helps keep yields low and encourages even ripening and site expression. After harvesting, the grapes undergo approximately 15 days of maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless-steel tanks to preserve their primary aromas. Malolactic fermentation softens the wine, followed by several months of maturation in stainless steel, large oak casks and concrete vats, creating a balance between Cannonau’s natural power and polished elegance.

Food & Serving
Serve Medeus at approximately 16–18°C. It is a natural partner for hearty pasta dishes, tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, lamb, roast pork and mature cheeses. Decanting for around one hour before serving is recommended, particularly in its youth, as this allows the wine’s fruit, balsamic aromas and supple texture to open fully.

Founded in 1899, Sella & Mosca is one of Sardinia’s most historic and important wine estates.
