Carignano del Sulcis Superiore 'Gavino' Mesa 2019

The Sardinian wine Carignano del Sulcis Superiore “Gavino” is a red with intense aromas, where Carignano reaches excellent levels, achieving an envied depth, both on the nose and in the mouth. This is thanks to the work done by the Mesa winery and its owner, Gavino Sanna, who celebrates himself in this label where personality and character abound. A perfect bottle to discover a high-quality red wine, expanding your geographical atlas to Sardinia.

The Carignano del Sulcis Superiore “Gavino” is made from pure grapes of an important variety in the Sardinian wine scene, Carignano. The vines of this variety are still ungrafted and have an average age of about 65 years; they are cultivated using the bush training method and their roots dig deep into sandy and clay soils. The grapes, carefully harvested during the vintage by the Mesa winery team, ferment in steel, macerating for about 25 days, without any filtration. Then the maturation process begins, carried out for 18 months in oak barrels, after which the wine is ready to be bottled and marketed.

The "Gavino" Carignano del Sulcis Superiore presents itself to the eye with an intense and deep ruby red color, with some slight garnet veining at the rim. The array of aromas that envelops the nose is fascinating, structured on layered notes, where fruity notes lead to spicy ones, in a rainbow of balanced aromas. On the palate, it has excellent structure, is full-bodied, with a smooth and velvety sip, derived from finely integrated tannic texture. It finishes with a finish characterized by a savory aftertaste and fruit in spirit. A label with which the Mesa winery, a young production reality, confirms its accelerated path towards quality peaks recognized by the main Italian sector guides.
