Cantina Mesa

Cantina Mesa was founded in 2004 thanks to the intuition of the famous advertising man of Sardinian origin, Gavino Sanna. The name, which in Spanish means 'table', perfectly represents the idea behind its birth: a place of conviviality, simplicity and love for a wonderful land, which is Sardinia and, in particular, the beautiful area of Sulcis Iglesiente.

In these valleys, characterised by sandy soils, wines of great character and luminosity are born, starting with the most typical grape varieties of the area: Carignano, Cannonau and Vermentino. In the heart of Sulcis, Cantina Mesa now has 73 hectares under vine - 66 of which are its own - where the vines are trained to the head-training or spurred cordon system.

The winery is in the village of Sant'Anna Arresi, the right place to create an ideal contrast with the terroir to create wines in all their nuances. This village is a candid, unusual and minimalist structure, surrounded by gentle hillsides and silhouetted amidst the green Mediterranean scrub.

Then, the winery is about 5,000 square metres, spread over three levels and arranged so that grapes and wine can be treated with the utmost respect and special care: no mechanical pumps, therefore, but movements that take place through the principle of "natural fall". Lastly, the ageing process is carried out in the basement of the cellar. This is how all the wines labelled Mesa are born, with names loaded with meaning such as "Buio", "Giunco", "Buio Buio" and "Opale", to continue with all the others. Territorial, integral, punctual and precise wines are the faithful expression of a region that is second to none when it comes to wine.
