About MandraRossa
Dedicated to exceptional quality and innovation, MandaraRossa produce an outstanding collection of wines. Each is designed for early drinking and yet possesses surprising complexity and interest. Optimum quality at harvest is assured by the analysis of sugar development, tannin ripeness and acidity levels.
The Menfi and Terre Sicane territories in Sicily offer the perfect microclimate for viticulture. The sunlight, sea breezes and mild summers together with the variety of soils ensure that the potential of the grapes is optimised. The terrain is characterised by multiple elevations which also contribute to the depth of flavour.
The Fiano Grape
A white Italian grape grown principally in southern Italy and on the island of Sicily, Fiano delivers strong flavours and aromatic notes. It is believed to be the grape used to produce the ancient Roman wine Apianum. Fiano grapes are notable for their low yields.
The small and thick-skinned Fiano grapes produce limited juice. For this reason, Fiano grapes fell out of favour in the early years of the 20th century but interest in the variety has increased significantly in recent years. Modern techniques and equipment have facilitated the return of a classical variety with unique qualities.
