Sella & Mosca Vermentino Superiore Monteoro 2025

Sella & Mosca’s Vermentino Superiore Monteoro is one of Sardinia’s benchmark white wines, combining Mediterranean warmth with the precision and freshness that have made Vermentino so distinctive on the island. Crafted from grapes grown in the granitic hills of Gallura, it reflects both the historic character of Sella & Mosca and the ideal conditions of northeastern Sardinia. The result is a wine with a strong sense of place, depth, and elegance.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Monteoro shows a bright, luminous straw-yellow colour with greenish reflections, hinting at its freshness and vitality. The nose is expressive and refined, with aromas of citrus peel, white flowers, ripe pear, Mediterranean herbs, and a subtle mineral note that speaks of its granite soils. On the palate, it is generous and full-flavoured, yet always balanced by lively acidity and a saline, refreshing finish. The wine offers a pleasing combination of softness and tension, making it both approachable and complex. Thanks to its structure and careful élevage, it has the ability to develop gracefully for several years, gaining additional texture and nuance with time.

Production
Monteoro comes from Vermentino vineyards in Gallura, in northeastern Sardinia, where granite soils and a classic Mediterranean climate create ideal growing conditions for the variety. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand from the second half of September, when they have reached full aromatic and sugar maturity. Vinification begins with a cold maceration of the skins followed by gentle pressing, then a long fermentation at 15°C in large stainless-steel tanks, with ageing for several months in steel before bottling to preserve freshness and varietal purity.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent companion to grilled fish, seafood pasta, shellfish, risotto with herbs, and Mediterranean vegetable dishes, as well as more flavourful white meats and soft cheeses. Serve it chilled at around 8–10°C to highlight its aromatic brightness and crisp finish. Decanting is not necessary, though a brief aeration in the glass can help open up its bouquet.

Producer
Founded by two Piedmontese wine enthusiasts, engineer Sella and lawyer Mosca, Sella & Mosca is one of Sardinia’s most important and historic wine estates. Over nearly a century, the winery has played a major role in reviving and developing viticulture on the island, becoming especially significant in the northeastern areas best suited to Vermentino. Today, the estate is widely respected for its quality and consistency, and Monteoro has earned numerous national and international awards that confirm its standing as one of the region’s leading white wines.
