Tortiglioni Lunghi Rigati are an extended version of the classic Neapolitan tortiglioni, recognizable by their deep, spiral-shaped ridges. These long tubes are designed to hold robust sauces — from rich meat ragù to hearty vegetable sauces or creamy cheese preparations.

At Selet in Tuili, this pasta is crafted from the historic durum wheat Senatore Cappelli, celebrated for its intense aroma and strong connection to Sardinia’s agricultural identity. The grain is gently milled to preserve its natural characteristics, resulting in dough that displays the authentic markers of artisanal production: delicate white semolina flecks and darker specks from the interior of the grain.

Shaped using bronze dies, the pasta gains a slightly rough, porous surface that binds exceptionally well with sauces. Once shaped, the Tortiglioni Lunghi Rigati rest in wooden frames and undergo a slow drying process at a maximum of 38 °C for around two days, a gentle method that maintains the wheat’s aroma, nutrients, and firm structure.

Senatore Cappelli, developed by agronomist Nazareno Strampelli in the early 20th century and named after Senator Raffaele Cappelli, is admired for its tall growth, deep root system, and suitability for dry Mediterranean climates. Although challenging to cultivate and lower-yielding compared to modern varieties, it is prized for its aromatic intensity and authentic flavor.

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.
