Mitolo Winery

Mitolo – strong and gentle. That's the motto the family brought with them from Abruzzo to Australia. They arrived in the 1950s, staying true to their roots: food, wine, family. In 1999, Frank Mitolo and winemaker Ben Glaetzer met. Five hours of discussion, a business plan scribbled on the back of a napkin. The goal: McLaren Vale in its purest form. The first wine, GAM, was named after Frank's children. Today, Mitolo works closely with the Loprestis – also Italian immigrants. Heavy clay soils, gentle sea breezes, hands-off in the cellar. Italian grape varieties, Italian heritage. And the motto: forte e gentile. Strong and gentle.

Forte e gentile –

Frank Mitolo and winemaker Ben Glaetzer started in 1999 with a business plan scribbled on a napkin. Today, on heavy clay soils cooled by sea breezes, they produce wines that embody the family motto: strong yet smooth. Italian grape varieties, Australian terroir.
