The Lower Sulcis, along the coastal belt in the Valley of Porto Pino (where MESA is located), is characterized by the presence of numerous vineyards, some of them over a hundred years old and composed of ungrafted vines planted in the typical sandy soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere the influence of the sea has a significant impact on the climate, mitigating the heat of summer in the southernmost part of the Sulcis zone. The marine breezes refresh the vines and the salty air guarantees the freshness and vivacity of the grape’s flavors, favoring its delicious, easy-drinking style. Also, the winds in this region play an important role in preventing fungal diseases deriving from the humidity, thus ensuring the cultivation of healthy, high-quality grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMesa is situated in the area of Sant’Anna Arresi, on the slopes of a valley sheltered from the northwesterly winds and surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts more well-trodden side is covered by low scrubland of rosemary and cistus plants. Rare maritime flowers peek out from the cliffs. Each grape breathes in an atmosphere of sunny, balmy peace. It overlooks the plain of “medaus” (little country villages, typical of the Sulcis zone) and the inlet of the promontory of Porto Pino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMesa’s vineyards extend for more than 78 hectares. Using only organic fertilizers and without the use of insecticides and herbicides, Mesa uses only sustainable practises for production of wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":" Bottega Italia AU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44263907950689,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/7023\/1905\/files\/Cannonau3.png?v=1778475045"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/7023\/1905\/collections\/Sardinia-Region-Italy.jpg?v=1778475897","url":"https:\/\/bottega-italia.com.au\/collections\/sardinia.oembed","provider":" Bottega Italia Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
