The wine

Ruby red with intense purple hues. Ripe red fruit on the nose with dried fruit, prunes and almonds. Full bodied and well structured on the palate.

Bonera blends Nero d Avola, the island principal red grape, with Cabernet Franc, which brings a leafy, savoury edge that stops the Sicilian ripeness turning jammy. Cold soaked on arrival, then fermented for eight to ten days under temperature control. The Settesoli co-operative at Menfi mapped every one of its vineyards to identify the best sites, and Mandrarossa draws on those.

View all Mandrarossa wines

Mandrarossa is the premium expression of Cantine Settesoli, one of Sicily's largest and most quality-focused growers, based in Menfi on the island's sun-drenched south-western coast. It has become a byword for characterful, well-made Sicilian wine that captures the warmth and vibrancy of its home.

Drawing on a remarkable diversity of vineyards near the Mediterranean, Mandrarossa champions both indigenous Sicilian varieties and international grapes. Cooling sea breezes and a long growing season give wines of ripe fruit balanced by welcome freshness, with sustainability a guiding principle across the estate.

The range is wonderfully broad, from crisp whites of Fiano, Grillo and Grecanico to aromatic Zibibbo, juicy Nero d'Avola and Frappato, and premium bottlings such as the old-vine Cartagho and single-terroir Terre di Sommacco. The golden Serapias passito from Pantelleria is a jewel to finish.

Vivid, generous and full of Sicilian sunshine, Mandrarossa offers exceptional character and value. Its wines are an inviting journey through one of the Mediterranean's most exciting wine islands.
