Mandrarossa Nero d'Avola

Nero d'Avola from southern Sicily – here the grape variety shows its approachable side: velvety texture, ripe fruit profile, no bulky tannins.

Cantine Settesoli is one of Sicily's largest winegrowers' cooperatives, located near Menfi on the south coast. The Mandrarossa brand represents vineyard-specific wines from the wine-growing center between Marsala and Agrigento – certified organic, with a focus on single-varietal wines.

In the glass, a clear ruby ​​red. The nose reveals black cherry, plum, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, soft and rounded, with moderate acidity and gentle tannins – not a complex wine for aging, but an uncomplicated everyday companion. The finish is short to medium-long, with some dark fruit.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Drinking window: now. Pairs well with pasta al ragù, grilled sausages, tomato sugo with aubergine, or a simple cheese board with pecorino.
