Background

Mandrarossa wines were born out of a mission for excellence when a team of industry experts joined forces to create high quality wines of both indigenous and international varietals from Sicily to introduce to the world. This team of experts identified top estates that yield the best quality and worked closely with select growers to deliver the truest and highest valued expression of the selected varietals offered by Mandrarossa wines. Ideal microclimatic conditions of intense sunlight, coastal sea breezes and rich chalky soils combine to produce these rich, aromatic wines.

TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES

Grown in the sandy dunes typical of southwest Sicily, at 820 feet above sea levels, in a climate that allows for warm days and breezy nights.

Winemaking & Aging

The grapes are harvested the second week of September. After destemming and soft pressing, the grapes are left to macerate for 6-8 days in steel tanks at 71-77° F. After drawing off the lees, the wine is left to mature for 8 months in steel vats.

Tasting Notes

An intense ruby red color with shades of purple. Intriguing aromas of red berries and sweet spices. Lush and savory.

Best Buy

The nose starts lightly floral, with aromas of strawberry and hibiscus, but quickly dives into the earthy sanguinity of soil and bricks. The slightly astringent fruit flavors continue on the palate, while a vegetal undertone accentuates the earth tones before a salty, acidic, hot finish. Palm Bay International. Best Buy. —D.C.
