Barbara and Giuseppe Pusceddu founded their winery in 2006 in Villasimius, in the province of Cagliari, Sardinia. In the Sardinian dialect, meigamma means ‘nap after lunch,’ a phrase to embody their ‘slow’ life philosophy. The couple approaches the production of wine, honey, and olive oil as naturally as possible, without the use of pesticides or herbicides in the fields or chemical treatments in the cellar. Grapes are hand harvested, fermentations are done without the aid of selected yeasts, and the wines are bottled without fining or filtration. Their methods aim to respect the grapes and territory, resulting in a deep connection between their wine and land. Currently, their vineyard extends 1.1 hectares, just 600 meters from the sea, cultivated with only the native vines of the area: Nuragus, Nasco, Moscato, Malvasia, Vermentino, Bovale, Cannonau, Muristellu, and more.
Meigmma’s Bianco ‘Zero’ is a blend Moscato, Nuragus, Nasco and Vermentino – basically a bit of everything, all coming from vines a mere 500 meters from the sea. The Nasco is raised wood and rest in steel; some macerated and some not. As with all their wines, there is no sulfur added. Super fresh – like a splash of sunny sea-spray for the senses –– underripe peach and nectarine and tangy pineappley vibes lead to a mouth-watering finish. There’s more than a touch of salinity for balance and a ripe and fleshy mouthfeel that is both savory and exotic. A real trip to the island with this one!
