The 2008 Torbato Cuvee 161 Terre Bianche flows from the glass with rich, sensual layers of fruit. Ripe, juicy apricots, mint, smoke, French oak, minerals and earthiness are some of the notes that emerge from this relatively full-bodied, intense white. All of the elements are beautifully balanced as the wine builds to a round, vivid finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013.
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.
