Mesa Moro Cannonau
Description
This sensational red from Sardinia features fresh notes on one hand and savoury notes on the other. Two extremes providing the structure for a well-balanced flavour with assertive sharp tannins keeping the progression intriguing with its plunge into fruitiness.
The aroma is dominated by rich bouquet of red and black berries, including raspberries, blackcurrant and blackberries. And floral notes of violets and herbal notes of mint.
Serving temperature: 16°C - 18°C
Area of production: Central Sardinia
Varietal: Cannonau
Winery Profile:
The wine industry in the traditional Sulcis zone of Sardinia began in 1932. 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.
Here 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.
Mesa 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.
Its 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.
Mesa’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.
