Maccheroni Lisci, meaning “smooth maccheroni,” are a classic tubular pasta shape known for their refined texture and clean exterior. At Selet in Tuili, this traditional shape is brought to life using the historic durum wheat Senatore Cappelli, a grain deeply rooted in Sardinia’s agricultural past and appreciated for its intense aroma and rich flavor.

As with all Selet pasta, the wheat is milled gently to preserve its natural characteristics, resulting in dough that displays the authentic hallmarks of artisanal production: subtle white speckles from dried semolina and darker flecks from the inner part of the grain.

The pasta is shaped through bronze dies, giving it a slightly rough, natural surface that clings well to sauces despite its smooth overall form. After shaping, the Maccheroni Lisci rest in wooden frames and undergo a slow drying process at a maximum of 38 °C for roughly two days, preserving the wheat’s aroma, nutrients, and characteristic bite.

The historic wheat variety Senatore Cappelli, developed in the early 20th century by agronomist Nazareno Strampelli and named after Senator Raffaele Cappelli, grows tall, forms deep roots, and thrives in dry Mediterranean climates. Though more challenging to cultivate than modern varieties, it is renowned for its aromatic complexity and authentic grain character.

In the heart of Sardinia — the island celebrated for its longevity and culinary heritage — Selet has become a reference point for pasta crafted with a deep respect for taste, quality, and tradition.

The story begins with Santino Accalai, the visionary at the head of the family. In the 1990s, he played a decisive role in bringing Grano Senatore Cappelli, a nearly forgotten heritage durum wheat variety, back into the spotlight. Esteemed decades ago for its exceptional aroma and character, this wheat was once a cornerstone of Sardinian agriculture. Santino’s dedication helped restore its place in the region’s fields and kitchens.

For more than 30 years, Selet has cultivated this remarkable grain. The company is also a founding member of the Consorzio Grano Cappelli Sardegna, established in 2014 by local farmers and processors in Tuili with the goal of preserving and promoting this historic wheat variety.

Today, the Accalai family runs Selet together, combining craftsmanship with an unwavering respect for the land. Their flour and pasta are produced exclusively from regional cultivation in the Campidano, Sardinia’s traditional grain valley. Every step — from sowing to milling to shaping the pasta — reflects their commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and the cultural roots of Sardinian food.
