Descrizione

The Merlot IGT of Mandrarossa, produced in the enchanting Sicilian territory, best expresses the elegance of this international grape variety in a Mediterranean context. Carefully cultivated in the vineyards of Cavadiserpe, the wine reflects the richness of the volcanic soil and the Mediterranean climate, which give structure and depth to the wine. The Merlot stands out for its intense ruby red color, with violet reflections that anticipate a complex aromatic bouquet, where notes of ripe wild berries, cherry, and a delicate spicy hint emerge, evolving toward sensations of cocoa and tobacco.

The aging in oak barrique contributes to an elegant balance between softness and velvety tannins, making the wine harmonious and very drinkable. Perfect paired with roasted red meat dishes or aged cheeses, this Merlot tells the story of contemporary Sicily, able to enhance a classic grape variety with energy and originality.

Winery history

Mandrarossa was launched as a brand in 1999 as a Cantine Settesoli project, following more than twenty years of study of the local terroirs. The label was developed to select the best habitats and micro-parcels in the Menfi area and to introduce wines produced through small-scale vinifications and targeted varietal experimentation.

Production philosophy

Terroir research, soil mapping and varietal experimentation to bring out each variety's ideal potential. The approach combines agronomic study, micro-vinifications and vineyard selection to create recognizable expressions of Sicily.

Terroir and vineyards

The main production area is Menfi: hills sloping down to the sea with varied soils that create distinct microclimates, and sea breezes and temperature variations that enhance grape quality. In the Menfishire, Mandrarossa reports a vineyard area of approximately 500 hectares.

Awards and recognitions

Mandrarossa has received numerous national and international accolades: examples include awards and scores from Decanter, Gambero Rosso, James Suckling, Wine Enthusiast, Mundus Vini, Concours Mondial Bruxelles and other international competitions.
