Cantina Mesa, Primo Bianco, Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 2022
"Primo Bianco" is a Vermentino di Sardegna DOC produced by Cantina Mesa. Vermentino is one of the most representative white grape varieties of Sardinia, and Cantina Mesa, located in Sulcis Iglesiente, is known for its dedication to producing wines that best express the Sardinian terroir.
The Primo Bianco Vermentino di Sardegna DOC typically presents a light straw yellow color.
This wine offers a fresh and aromatic scent, with notes that may remind of white fruit, white flowers, and, sometimes, hints of aromatic herbs, typical of the Vermentino grape variety.
Being a young and ready-to-drink wine, Primo Bianco has a fresh, dry, and delicately fruity taste. The absence of mechanical pumping and refinement in underground rooms preserves its freshness and fineness.
This wine is perfect for accompanying refined aperitifs, light starters, fish and seafood-based dishes. Its freshness and lightness make it an ideal match for typical Sardinian dishes based on fish and vegetables.
About Cantina Mesa
The name Mesa, which in both Sardinian and in Spanish means table or dinner table, sums up in just four letters the very soul of the winery. Nourishment, a meal among friends, maternal love, simplicity, and fragrant odours. Of the Sardinian earth. Mesa was thus born as a declaration of love for Sardinia, as a marriage of beauty and goodness, as a celebration of the island’s generosity and of its culture, expressed through one of its most noble cultural treasures, wine. It represents the fulfilment of a dream of Gavino Sanna, Italy’s most celebrated and awarded advertising professional, who dreamed of creating something extraordinary, as unique and simple as his own land, and for his own land.
Mesa’s vineyards extend for more than 78 hectares (192 acres), of which 66 (163 acres) are owned by the estate. The vines are trained vertically, mostly using Cordon Spur and to some extent also alberello (bush training), depending on the local conditions and the exposure.
