The Nero d'Avola by Mandrarossa, known under the name Cartagho, best expresses the wine identity of southwestern Sicily, where the Mediterranean climate and mineral-rich soils produce intense and complex wines.

This wine is made from carefully selected Nero d’Avola grapes, an indigenous variety that delivers body and deeply fruity notes. The winemaking involves controlled fermentation in steel and bottle aging that preserves freshness and roundness, enhancing aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and a subtle spiciness. The result is a wine with an intense ruby color, a broad and enveloping bouquet, and soft yet structured tannins.

Perfect to accompany Mediterranean cuisine dishes based on red meats and aged cheeses, the Cartagho by Mandrarossa is an excellence that tells the story and passion of the Sicilian land in every sip.

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.
