Cantina Mesa was born in the heart of Sardinia’s Sulcis Iglesiente region as an authentic expression of its unique territory and winemaking culture. Founded in 2004 by the renowned advertising executive Gavino Sanna, the winery is named after the Sardinian word “mesa”, meaning “table”, which symbolises conviviality, nourishment and sharing.
The company’s philosophy is rooted in a deep connection with the Sardinian land, which is seen as a generous mother that provides identity, landscape and exceptional raw materials. This approach results in wines that express the territory through its indigenous grape varieties, particularly Carignano del Sulcis, Vermentino and Cannonau, which are cultivated across more than 70 hectares of vineyards.
Located in Sant’Anna Arresi, the winery is a contemporary, minimalist architectural structure perfectly integrated into the Mediterranean landscape. Here, production follows an innovative gravity-flow process that guides the grapes from hand selection through to aging, preserving the fruit’s integrity and enhancing every stage of vinification.
Mesa represents a balance between aesthetics and substance, tradition and innovation: an oenological project that tells the story of Sardinia through elegant, distinctive wines deeply rooted in their origin.
