Region: Sardegna
All of our Cantina Mesa wines are fruits from Sardinian grape varieties. The name Mesa, which in both Sardinian and in Spanish means table, sums up in just four letters the very soul of the winery. Nourishment, a meal among friends, simplicity, and fragrant odors of the Sardinian earth.
A striking, white structure, of minimalist line, all but unprecedented, stands in Sulcis Iglesiente, enfolded tenderly by the hillslopes that overlook Porto Pino. It rises up from amidst the dark green of the Mediterranean scrub and the vineyards, gazing contentedly over the land that spreads out from it in every direction and over the fruits of its own labor, noted with amazement and wonder by a multitude of eyes that can glimpse it even from afar..
THE VINEYARD
The estate comprises 70 hectares in the heart of Sulcis Iglesiente. The largest part of the vineyards is located in the Sant’Anna Arresi area, in a valley sheltered from the mistral winds and surrounded by the sea. The vines are vertically trained, largely to spurred cordon, some to the alberello, or bush, style, depending on local conditions and exposure.
Vineyards are located in: Su Baroni - Cannigonis
THE CANTINA MESA VINEYARD
We want to tell you the story of a fabulous winemaking area. A terroir with a mother’s generosity, a land that holds nothing back; its riches and subtleties, its aromas and fragrances, its soul and knowledge. A place where sea and sky form a single source of light, where vines grow on hillsides pampered by caring nature, lulled by the sun and caressed by a wind permeated with the scents of the sea and the Mediterranean. The story of a land with a culture of hard labor, but also love and dedication, a strong sentiment that harks back to an ancient art and tradition.
The name Mesa, which in both Sardinian and in Spanish means table, sums up in just four letters the very soul of the winery. Nourishment, a meal among friends, simplicity, and fragrant odors of the Sardinian earth. Mesa was thus born as a declaration of love for Sardinia, as a marriage of beauty and goodness, as a celebration of the island’s generosity and of its culture, expressed through one of its most noble cultural treasures, wine. It represents the fulfilment of a dream of founder Gavino Sanna, who dreamed of creating something extraordinary, as unique and simple as his own land, and for his own land.
