Mandrarossa Frappato

The Mandrarossa range comes from a large co-operative in the southwest of Sicily but is marked out by the involvement of consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini and soil expert Pedro Parra. The coastal vineyards make for wines that are inevitably fresher than those from further inland, a trait that suits Frappato perfectly. The variety often produces strong red berry flavours, of red grapes even but this has a fresh mineral streak that is only seen occasionally. 

Mandrarossa is the result of over 20 years of research: expression of a different Sicily, which innovates and experiments. Aiming to create a unique but ultimately terroir driven expression of Sicilian wine. Created in 1999 thanks to a study that lasted over 20 years, which led to selecting the best variety and terroir combinations: the ideal habitats that allow each grape variety to fully express its potential.
