It shouldnt be a surprise that our top red has been made from a non-indigenous variety; Syrah is the best-adapted black grape in the western Sicilian soil. Two years of ageing in tonneaux has given it the Riserva Appellation. A combination of power and smoothness is supplemented by a touch of fruitiness made intriguing by a thin vein of oak. The harmonious roundness found in ones mouth does not affect the fragrance of the fruit.Careful selection of the handpicked grapes. Maceration and fermentation of the destemmed grapes in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25°C for 15-20 days. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.Beef, Pasta, LambSet in a stunning century-old baglio (fortified country estate) in the heart of a traditional wine region of the province of Trapani, Caruso E Minini was founded by third generation winemaker Stefano Caruso and Mario Minini.

Working with passion for the land and respect of values and traditions, Caruso & Minini has been devoted to creating the modern expression of Sicilian wines since 2004.

The wine estate boasts 120 hectares of vines from diverse Sicilian varietals such as Nero dAvola, Grillo and Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria) as well as some international varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot.

Every single grape variety has been planted following the best combination of exposure, soil and climate; while the highest hills are dedicated to the cultivation of white grapes, red varieties grow at the valley bottom.

Situated at 200-450 meters above sea level and a few kilometres away from the coast, the estate is set on alluvial soil, rich in water and organic matter.
