2021 Cantina Mesa Buio Buio Riserva Carignano del Sulcis DOC

ABOUT

Mesa Cantina: A name that embodies the essence of this winery. Derived from the Sardinian and Spanish word for dinner table, it represents nourishment, maternal love, simplicity, and the fragrant aromas of the island's earth. This wine is a celebration of Sardinia's beauty and goodness, showcasing the generosity and culture of the island through one of its most cherished treasures: wine.  

Buio Buio comes from low‐yielding ungrafted old vines on sandy soils in southwest Sardinia. Buio (boo‐yo) is not only fun to say but translates to ‘darkness’. Buio Buio is an inky dark wine made with 100% Carignano grapes that have been aged in a dark cellar.  

This is a fun wine, sure to please both wine novices and connoisseurs.

TASTING NOTES 

On the nose, the wine takes flight, its richness and aromatic complexity are gradually revealed first in flowery, red berry notes, then in tones of Mediterranean balsam and Asian spice. Rich, full, satisfying. A silky, layered progression which is enlivened by many-hued freshness, an underlying savory streak and punchy yet rounded tannins, long, enchanting finish of wild berries and herbs.

ENJOY WITH 

Game bird, roast lamb or goat, and mature cheeses.

Quantities are limited.
