Made entirely from \u003cstrong\u003eVermentino\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, this wine fully expresses the sunny and maritime character of the island territory. On the palate, it presents as a \u003cstrong\u003estructured and complex\u003c\/strong\u003e glass, characterised by an intense aromatic profile in which notes of ripe yellow fruit, hints of Mediterranean scrub and distinct iodised nuances stand out. Its careful evolution in concrete on the lees gives it a \u003cstrong\u003esilky texture\u003c\/strong\u003e that perfectly balances its freshness and savoury imprint, making it ideal for accompanying strongly flavoured fish dishes or light meats, lingering in an energetic and mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Sardinian white comes from Sulcis, an area located in the south-western tip of Sardinia, almost entirely surrounded by the sea. The distinctly Mediterranean climate, with low rainfall concentrated in the winter months and high temperatures in summer, forges the robustness of the vines, which are constantly cooled by the mistral winds. The terrain shows considerable variability, alternating between sandy areas and \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in stony fragments, with a sub-alkaline reaction. The constant \u003cstrong\u003emaritime influence\u003c\/strong\u003e blends with the evident \u003cstrong\u003emineral richness\u003c\/strong\u003e of the land, giving the clusters a marked savoury imprint and guaranteeing the wine an unmistakable personality, which faithfully reflects the ruggedness and charm of the landscape of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking process begins with a meticulous harvest conducted between the second and third ten-day periods of September, gathering grapes grown using the traditional bush-vine (alberello) and spurred cordon systems. After the delicate pressing and fermentation stages, the wine is transferred into \u003cstrong\u003econcrete containers\u003c\/strong\u003e, a technical material chosen to preserve the authenticity of the varietal aromas. During the ageing period, the wine remains in close \u003cstrong\u003econtact with the noble lees\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental oenological practice that increases aromatic complexity and softens the structure of the palate. This careful rest allows for perfect gustatory harmony, enhancing the natural \u003cstrong\u003efreshness and savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e without resorting to maturation in wooden containers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCantina Mesa's Opale expresses the purest soul of Sulcis, guardian of a winemaking heritage of the highest prestige. The vines thrive through the historic \u003cstrong\u003ebush-training technique\u003c\/strong\u003e on clay-limestone soils, yielding vigorous clusters harvested in late September. A fascinating detail lies in its maturation within concrete tanks, where contact with noble lees enhances its \u003cstrong\u003earomatic complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e. This constant pursuit of perfection boasts illustrious accolades, including \u003cstrong\u003e93 points from Luca Maroni\u003c\/strong\u003e and four Bibenda bunches, symbols of pure elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cantina Mesa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47840323764395,"sku":"62639","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/mesa-vermentino-di-sardegna-opale-2025_62639_1_fce4f930-edea-4bfa-be71-07627b6af94f.webp?v=1790601859"}],"url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-uk\/collections\/cantina-mesa.oembed","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
