DESCRIPTION
The essence of Mitolo Wines is rooted in centuries of agricultural and winemaking tradition. Originally from the Abruzzo region of Italy, the Mitolo family emigrated to Australia in the 1950s, bringing with them an unwavering work ethic and a deep connection to the land. Embodying the Abruzzo motto - forte e gentile (strong and gentle) - their Italian-Australian heritage sits at the heart of their quest to create remarkable wines, full of character and elegance.
Mescia, meaning 'blend' in the Abruzzo dialect, is Mitolo's most personal wine. A bold assemblage: 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Sangiovese, 11% Montepulciano, each variety vinified separately before meticulous blending trials. The 2022 vintage, cool and vibrant with crisp nights, delivers rare floral elegance. On the nose, delicate red and black fruits, rose petal, violet, balsamic notes. The palate is silky and deep, carried by fine mineral tannins and an acidity that draws the finish endlessly long.
Best enjoyed with aged beef, rack of lamb — or simply on its own, to appreciate every layer.
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia
The McLaren Vale wine region, located just south of Adelaide, is very highly regarded throughout both Australia and the world. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite location to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.

My personal favourite from Mitolo. Floral, mineral, of rare harmony. A dinner wine in the finest sense of the term.
