Mandrarossa's Grecanico Dorato is a white wine that perfectly embodies the essence of south-western Sicily. Produced in Menfi, an area renowned for its biodiversity and unspoilt beaches, this region is also known as “Menfishire” and offers ideal conditions for viticulture. Made from 100% Grecanico Dorato grapes, this native Sicilian variety is distinguished by its freshness and aromaticity. Its green-yellow berries have thick skins and produce wines with a beautiful structure. The vinification process begins with cryomaceration of the grapes for 4-6 hours, followed by fermentation for 15-20 days at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged for 4 months in stainless steel, preserving the purity of the fruit and the typical liveliness of Grecanico Dorato. It has a straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. The nose offers intense aromas of orange blossom and citrus fruits, such as lemons and citrons, accompanied by light hints of thyme. On the palate, it is fresh and savoury, characteristics that make it particularly pleasant and immediate. Designed to be drunk young to fully appreciate its freshness and aroma, it pairs well with fish-based appetisers and sautéed clams. Also ideal as an aperitif or with light Mediterranean dishes.
Mandrarossa is a wine project that began in 1999 in the heart of south-western Sicily, in Menfi. It is the result of over twenty years of research into the terroir to identify the best combinations of grape varieties and territory. Founded by the Cantine Settesoli cooperative, Mandrarossa represents an innovative Sicily that breaks with stereotypes, with the aim of producing high-quality wines through sustainable practices and oenological experimentation. Located in the Puccia district south of Menfi, it is an example of architecture integrated into the landscape. The 700-square-metre building, spread over several levels and largely underground, houses a barrel cellar, two tasting rooms, a wine shop and a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea. Designed to blend in with its surroundings, the winery uses natural materials and colours that reflect the tones of the local area, such as wood and ochre pigments. The roof garden, covered with typical Mediterranean plants, acts as a natural insulator, helping to maintain ideal temperatures and humidity levels for ageing wines. The energy required is provided by a photovoltaic system, underlining the company's commitment to environmental sustainability. The company also stands out for its adoption of organic farming practices. Since 2021, it has been offering wines made from 100% organic grapes, sourced from vineyards cultivated without the use of synthetic products or GMOs, promoting biodiversity and the well-being of the ecosystem.
