The wine

Defined by a distinctive minerality drawn from the volcanic soils of Pantelleria. The nose is intense and expressive, with citrus, rose, jasmine and dried fruit.

Passito di Pantelleria is made from Zibibbo, the Muscat of Alexandria, on a volcanic island closer to Tunisia than to Sicily. Part of the crop is left to dry for twenty to twenty-two days before being added to the fermenting must. The wind there is fierce enough that vines are grown in hollows dug into the ground and head-trained low, a method UNESCO lists as intangible cultural heritage. This is the 50cl bottle.

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.
