Cannonau

Antonio Mele, a passionate winemaker in Sardinia, is dedicated to reviving ancient grape varieties. His vineyards are located in the mountainous terrain of Sardinia, where the granitic and sandy soils impart a unique character to the wine.
Ishopu is a red wine rooted in Mamoiada, a village in central Sardinia where viticulture is still deeply tied to local traditions. Antonio Mele works small plots of old Cannonau vines, farming by hand and with minimal intervention, following methods passed down through generations. This wine reflects a place shaped by altitude, wind, and strong identity, and a producer committed to preserving the cultural and agricultural heritage of his land.

Antonio Mele

Antonio Mele grew up in Mamoiada, a small mountain village in the heart of Sardinia where grape growing has always been part of daily life. For years, his family cultivated vines and sold the grapes, as many others did. But in 2010, Antonio chose a different path—he began making wine himself, wanting to give value and identity to something that had always been there.
His approach is quiet and thoughtful. He works organically, by hand, and keeps things simple in the cellar,. There’s no rush, no excess. Just clean, expressive Cannonau that carries the imprint of the land and the people who work it.
