Sella & Mosca Cannonau Sardegna Mustazzo 2022

Sella & Mosca Mustazzo Cannonau di Sardegna DOC 2022 is a distinctive Sardinian red made from Cannonau grapes grown on low-yielding, bush-trained vines more than 55 years old. A collaboration with celebrated Sardinian designer Antonio Marras, it combines the powerful identity of the island’s native grape with an elegant, modern style and impressive ageing potential.

Tasting Notes
The wine pours a deep ruby red with vivid, youthful reflections. Its complex bouquet opens with blackberry and other dark-fruit aromas, followed by violet, myrtle and woodland notes. Subtle hints of spice and cedar add further depth. On the palate, Mustazzo is full-bodied and dynamic, with remarkable acidity providing freshness and balance to its powerful structure. Supple, enveloping tannins lead to a long, savoury finish. While approachable when young with some aeration, its concentration and structure give it the potential to develop beautifully over approximately 5–10 years.

Production
The grapes come from Sella & Mosca’s extensive Alghero estate, where vineyards lie at more than 600 metres above sea level. The old Cannonau vines are trained using the traditional bush-vine, or goblet, system and produce very low yields, while the pronounced day-to-night temperature variations help preserve aromatic intensity and freshness. After careful destemming and gentle pressing, the must undergoes maceration managed with the délestage technique to achieve balanced extraction of colour and polyphenols. Malolactic fermentation softens and stabilises the wine, followed by maturation in a combination of wood and concrete vessels, with some lots retained in stainless steel.

Food & Serving
Enjoy Mustazzo with grilled or braised beef, roast lamb, game and richly flavoured risottos with shellfish. Its freshness and structure also make it a fine match for mature or fresh cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended, particularly for a young bottle, to open the aromas and soften the tannins.

Producer
Founded in 1899, Sella & Mosca is one of Sardinia’s most important and internationally recognised wineries, with a deep connection to the Alghero area and the island’s native grape varieties. The estate is known for combining respect for traditional vineyard practices with precise, contemporary winemaking. Mustazzo reflects this philosophy through its old Cannonau bush vines, high-altitude cultivation and collaboration with Antonio Marras, expressing both the character of Sardinian terroir and the distinctive identity of the producer.
