The wine

Ruby red with violet reflections. Intense, persistent plum, quince, marmalade and rosemary on the nose, with ripe tannins on the palate.

Merlot in Sicily behaves quite differently from Merlot in Bordeaux: it ripens early and fully, giving softer tannins and riper fruit, with the herbal rosemary note that the island scrubland seems to lend everything grown here. Hand harvested, crushed and destemmed, then fermented in stainless steel under temperature control.

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.
