Cabernet Sauvignon

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.

Mandrarossa Cabernet Sauvignon grows on clay and medium textured soils that sit upon south and southwest facing hills at 492-820 feet above sea level, imparting an intense minerality to the wine.

Harvest occurs the second week of September. Maceration and fermentation occurs for 8-10 days at a temperature of 71-77°F. Aging takes place in steel tanks for 8 months at a temperature of 50°F, followed by 3 months of aging in the bottle.

Intense purple color. Red plums and delicate scents of sage, rosemary, and eucalyptus. Intense minerality with soft, fine tannins and strong hints of sage and rosemary.
