SARDINIA'S HEARTBEAT.

​

Cantina Mesa was born as a declaration of love for Sardinia, celebrating its authenticity and one-of-a-kind charm. The name Mesa, which in both Sardinian and Spanish means table, sums up in just four letters the very soul of our winery. We honor the traditional gathering to celebrate nourishment, our family, our friends, our noble cultural treasure, and Sardinia's wines. The area creates wines that are best expressed in their simplicity and the fragrant aromas of the earth.
