Why we chose Anemone

Anemone has the ease we want from a Mediterranean rosato, but it is not anonymous. Cherry and violet give it personality, while its fresh, clean finish makes it immediately welcoming. It is the kind of bottle that moves naturally from aperitivo to lunch without asking too much of the occasion.

Rosato from Alghero

Sella & Mosca's estate lies just inland from Alghero on Sardinia's north-west coast. Here bright sun, sea air and native varieties shape wines with vivid fruit and a distinctly Mediterranean sense of freshness.

Anemone is an Alghero Rosato DOC made from a blend of native grapes. The vines are trained on spurred cordon and have an average age of about fifteen years, bringing both aromatic clarity and gentle texture to the finished wine.

Made to preserve freshness

The grapes are pressed quickly, then the juice is cold settled before fermenting at a controlled temperature in stainless steel. There is no malolactic fermentation, and the wine rests briefly in steel. This careful, cool approach protects its delicate colour and keeps the fruit and floral notes bright.

What it tastes like

Anemone is pale and delicate in colour, with fresh cherry and violet on the nose. The palate is lively, graceful and easy to drink, with soft red fruit and a clean finish rather than sweetness or weight.

How to serve it

Serve at 10-12°C in a medium white-wine or rosé glass. It is ideal as an aperitivo and equally good with grilled fish, light pasta, roast chicken or summer vegetables. Take it outside for a relaxed lunch or open it while the sun is still up.
