Cantina Mesa - Buio - Carignano de Sulcis

Description

Overview: The Sulcis area, in the extreme south-west of Sardinia, almost entirely surrounded by the sea and constantly ex-posed to salty breezes that characterize the climate and the products that come from there. Within a few square kilometers, it offers a wide variety of soils. Terrains rich in aeolian sandstone deposited over cemented limestones alternate with clayey zones rich in skeletal grains, active limestone and microelements that give rise, together with the influence of the sea, to wines with a strong personality. 

Tasting Notes: Dense, bright ruby red. Ample, sophisticated nose with hints of ripe red berries, mediterranean herbs and hot spices. Exudes nobility and richness in spite of its energetic, eager youthfulness rich in iodine and fleshy. Biting but not aggres-sive tannins,
coupe with underlying savouriness, give mo-mentum to the fruity and balsamic notes.

Pairing: Intensely flavoured pasta and rice dishes, chargrilled tuna and red meats, game birds, pecorino sardo cheese.
