Mesa is situated in the area of Sant’Anna Arresi, on the slopes of a valley sheltered from the northwesterly winds and surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. It overlooks the plain of “medaus” (little country villages, typical of the Sulcis zone) and the inlet of the promontory of Porto Pino.
Its more well-trodden side is covered by low scrubland of rosemary and cistus plants. Rare maritime flowers peek out from the cliffs. On the sand, large expanses of posidonia indicate that the environment is clean and healthy. With the echoes of their songs, pink flamingoes and kingfishers delight every tendril of the vines. Each grape breathes in an atmosphere of sunny, balmy peace.
Mesa’s vineyards extend for more than 78 hectares (192 acres). The vines are trained using the Cordon Spur, Guyot and alberello (bush training) systems, depending on the local conditions and the exposure.
