An expression of the Carignano del Sulcis Riserva designation aged in French oak barrels, it offers a warm, structured, and enveloping profile. The tasting reveals a velvety tannic texture and a vibrant mineral savouriness, enriched by notes of red fruit, plum, balsamic hints, and oriental spices. The overall balance results in a long, spicy finish with echoes of liquorice, defining a deep and dynamic tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes grow in Sulcis, at the south-western tip of Sardinia, in a terroir constantly caressed by briny winds. The Mediterranean climate ensures optimal ripening of the bunches. The roots run deep into \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay and sandy soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, low in organic matter but extremely rich in microelements. This particular geology imparts a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct mineral imprint\u003c\/strong\u003e and a precise savouriness to the glass. The proximity to the sea promotes a territorial aromatic expression, enhancing the typical \u003cstrong\u003ebalsamic nuances\u003c\/strong\u003e of the surrounding scrubland (macchia).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduction process\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a careful manual harvest from selected vineyards, grown as \u003cstrong\u003eungrafted bush vines\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the cellar, the destemmed grapes ferment in steel, completing a maceration on the skins for about three weeks. Mesa minimises mechanical impact, transferring the liquid solely by \u003cstrong\u003enatural gravity\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing continues in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for almost a year, followed by a period in concrete and resting in the bottle. This rigorous oenological practice shapes an elegant and well-integrated structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 2004 in the heart of the evocative Sulcis terroir, \u003cstrong\u003eCantina Mesa\u003c\/strong\u003e celebrates the authentic Sardinian essence with its Buio Buio.
