Product information

The Carignan grape produces an extraordinary, elegant red with velvety tannins and fragrant notes of crisp red berry and black pepper, along with hints of pine resin.

92 points - Editor's Choice

Made on the windswept shores of Sardinia, this opens with enticing scents of Mediterranean scrub, blue flower, pine forest and wild berry. On the smooth, enveloping palate, polished tannins accompany ripe black plum, Morello cherry, star anise and crushed mint. Drink through 2024. - KERIN O’KEEFE

Tasting Notes
Exudes nobility and richness in spite of its energetic, eager youthfulness rich in iodine and fleshy. Biting but not aggressive tannins, coupe with underlying savouriness, give momentum to the fruity and balsamic notes.
History
Mesa was thus founded 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 treasures, wine. It represents the fulfilment of the dream of the Founder Gavino Sanna, Italy's most celebrated and awardwinning advertising professional: a dream of creating something as extraordinary, unique and bold as his island, and thereby promoting his land of origin.
Regional Information
Mesa is situated in the area of Sant'Anna Arresi, on the slopes of a hill outlined by winds and surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. It overlooks the plain of “medaus” (little country villages, typical of the Sulcis zone) and the inlet of the promontory of Porto Pino. Mesa's vineyards extend for more than 78 hectares (192 acres), of which 66 (163 acres) are estateowned.

Delicious wine from Sardinia

Sardinian Carignan wines are a real treat, and after extensive tasting we think Mesas Buio is among the best of the lot. So delighted that Ocado have selected it. Smooth and full bodied with plenty of berries and nicely woody. Love it.
