It displays an intense ruby red colour and a layered aromatic profile, featuring notes of ripe red and black fruits, Mediterranean scrub, sweet spices, tobacco and chocolate. On the palate, this \u003cstrong\u003eCarignano del Sulcis Superiore\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a generous and harmonious sip, driven by vibrant freshness. The fleshy texture is balanced by \u003cstrong\u003ebold tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a distinct mineral savouriness. A red wine of great structure, ideal for accompanying robust flavours based on meat and game, such as braised venison or sweet and sour wild boar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates in Sulcis Iglesiente, at the south-western tip of Sardinia, from historic vines grown as \u003cstrong\u003efree-standing bush vines\u003c\/strong\u003e. The roots delve into valleys characterised by sandy soils rich in clay and limestone, with a sub-alkaline and mineral profile that defines the character of the grapes. The \u003cstrong\u003eMediterranean climate\u003c\/strong\u003e is marked by hot summers, limited winter rainfall and frequent \u003cstrong\u003emaestrale winds\u003c\/strong\u003e. These environmental conditions protect the plants and ensure optimal ripening, resulting in a dynamic, bright and deeply savoury flavour profile in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter harvesting, \u003cstrong\u003eskin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e lasts for about twenty-five days with daily punch-downs and délestage for precise extraction. To preserve the integrity of the must, Mesa transfers the liquid exclusively by natural gravity. The wine then matures in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months, an essential stage to soften the phenolic load and harmonise the aromatic notes. The evolution is completed with a \u003cstrong\u003efinal ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least nine months, essential to consolidate the overall balance and tannic structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 2004 from the intuition of Gavino Sanna, this \u003cstrong\u003eCarignano del Sulcis Superiore\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the essence of conviviality at the table. Cantina Mesa cultivates bush-trained vines on sandy soils, working with a rigorous artisanal approach. The use of \u003cstrong\u003egravity-fed racking\u003c\/strong\u003e, without mechanical pumps, allows the integrity of the fruit to be preserved. Thanks to slow maturation in tonneaux, the wine reveals a full body, in which \u003cstrong\u003ebold tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a vibrant savouriness pay homage to the authentic soul of Sardinia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cantina Mesa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44503266754731,"sku":"52775","price":41.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/mesa-carignano-del-sulcis-superiore-gavino-2020_52775_1_4d776b31-32cc-412c-8e6c-95e6fdd0c294.webp?v=1773738931","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/mesa-carignano-del-sulcis-superiore-gavino-2020","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
