The 2005 Alghero Tanca Farra (50% Cannonau, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon) emerges from the glass with an enticing, delicate bouquet of sweet herbs, spices and wild flowers. This is a beautiful, if somewhat understated, Tanca Farra with gorgeous delineation in its fruit and outstanding overall balance. Sweet tobacco and licorice add further dimensions of complexity on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015.
Sella e Mosca is one of the oldest and best-known wineries in Sardinia. Curiously, many of the estate’s wines rely on international grapes, something that sets Sella e Mosca apart from the vast majority of wineries on the island.
