Mandrarossa was the result of a 20-year study by Cantina Settesoli, mapping terroir and grape varieties on Sicily. Established in 1999, its goal is to emphasise the distinct aromas and flavours of both international and native varieties grown in the territories of Menfi, Etna and on the island of Pantelleria. This organic wine is made from 100% Nero d’Avola grown at elevations up to 400m on limestone soils and influenced by sea breezes; it’s fermented and aged for up to five months in stainless steel. Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW: Aromatic wine with notes of aniseed, black fruit and a hint of pepper. Richness on the palate, ripe and rounded tannins are balanced by acidity. Good length. Jason Millar: Rosemary, blackberry and dark cherry, then a primary palate with blueberry and black cherry, some liquorice and bay leaf. Fruit purity and well-judged aromatics and extraction. Stefan Neumann MS: Good dark fruit spectrum, juicy mid-palate with some weight and power. Refined and layered. Great potential here.
