Please join us for a tasting of Sella & Mosca wines at Bianca Aperitivo on Tuesday October 18 led by Resident Export Manager (Terra Moretti Vino) Alfonso Gagliano! We're so pleased to have Alfonso join us in Nova Scotia (after many COVID delays!) to lead CAPS-Atlantic Members and Guests in a tasting of the wines of Sella & Mosca that have been special ordered and are not currently in our market! Sella & Mosca winery was founded in 1899 by two Piemontese businessmen, Erminio Sella and Edgardo Mosca. It was their love of unexplored terrains that led Sella, an engineer, and Mosca, a lawyer, to venture to Sardinia and start a winery on this idyllic island. European vineyards were just starting to recover from a devastating Phylloxera infestation and Sella and Mosca had an ambitious plan to reclaim the vineyards in the area known as I Piani. Today, Sella & Mosca’s I Piani estate in Sardinia is the second largest contiguous vineyard in Italy and counts itself among the country’s most impressive wineries. Situated in the northwest corner of Sardinia, just inland from the historic port of Alghero, this 1,600-acre property with more than 1,200 acres of vines is one of the largest wine estates in Europe. Designated a DOC in 1995, Alghero is characterized by its iron-rich limestone, clay and sandy soils. As Sardinia’s foremost wine producer, Sella & Mosca is renowned for premium wines made exclusively from estate-grown grapes. In addition to native varieties such as Vermentino and Cannonau, the winery has successfully pioneered the introduction of international grape varieties, notably Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Location: Bianca Aperitivo Bar, 1584 Argyle St, Halifax Guests may arrive anytime after 6:30 p.m. for a reception wine; the formal tasting will start at 7:00 p.m. sharp. CAPS-AC members: $35 + tax Non-members: $45 + tax Light snacks will be provided by the talented kitchen staff at Bianca at the end of the formal tasting
