Mandrarossa’s innovative journey, which began over 25 years ago, finds its most distinctive and representative identity in the wine tasted today: the Nero d’Avola “Cartagho.” This wine fully embodies the strength of this winery, thanks to a proud Sicilian native grape variety, a true symbol of the region’s rich viticultural heritage.
When tasting a winery’s iconic wine, one must approach the glass delicately, appreciating every single sensation, starting with its color. The deep red body reveals shades of noble purple, a testament to Cartagho’s depth and elegance.
There is a brilliant hue in the wine’s color, almost hinting at its remarkable aging potential. On the nose, fresh notes of black cherry and currant emerge, followed by a broad balsamic nuance that confirms its balance and elegance.
On the palate, Cartagho’s roundness is both structured and satisfying, showcasing excellent balance between well-defined tannins and vibrant acidity. This harmony confirms its potential to evolve gracefully over time.
Cartagho represents a true journey into Mandrarossa’s values and identity—a wine that is consistently modern yet versatile in its culinary pairings. It has the ability to elevate even the most elaborate dishes, while remaining deeply rooted in Sicilian culture.
Whether enjoyed with a pasta dish where cheese takes center stage or paired with wild game meat, Mandrarossa’s Cartagho will satisfy even the most discerning palates with its high-quality profile.
Company Profile
Founded in 1999 after over 20 years of research, Mandrarossa emerged from a study identifying the best variety-terroir combinations: the ideal conditions that allow each grape variety to fully express its potential. Mandrarossa wines are the result of constant experimentation and innovation. From the rolling hills of the southwestern coast descending towards the sea to the black sands of Mount Etna, Mandrarossa tirelessly seeks the best habitats for each cultivar to thrive. Extensive studies on grape behavior and intense micro-vinification efforts have, over time, led to the introduction of unique wines into their portfolio, some of which are unparalleled in the Sicilian wine landscape. This makes Mandrarossa the Sicily of wine you wouldn’t expect.
