In the early 90s, Settesoli, one of Italy's most respected wineries saw the huge potential of Sicily for fine wine production and founded Mandrarossa. Diego Planeta, president of Settesoli, took charge, planting the prime international and local grape varieties. He invested extensively in innovative winemaking technology and equipment, and formed a team of winemakers, led by internationally renowned Carlo Corino. The grapes are hand picked, and each parcel is fermented separately. Tasting Note: On the nose there are aromas of ripe black fruit, black pepper, and vanilla. Rich, spicy palate with a well rounded finish. Food Pairing: Beef, Game, Lamb Year: 2005
