Interesting Facts:

Torbato stands as a quintessential representative of Sardinia, tethered exclusively to the singular terroir of the island and the esteemed Sella & Mosca estate.
Historically, Torbato has epitomized the essence of crisp, uncomplicated white wines, celebrated for their freshness and simplicity. Yet, from a viticultural standpoint, cultivating Torbato presents formidable challenges.
