Vibrant.
Captivating. Sicilian.
The perfect Mediterranean climate and terroir
of Sicily are ideally suited for making wine.
Of course, the best winemaking requires more than
natural gifts. Enter Settesoli, one of Europe’s
largest and most respected wineries. In the early
‘90s, the winery made an all-out commitment
to make a new wine, named MandraRossa. Diego Planeta,
president of Settesoli, took charge of MandraRossa’s
creation. With single-minded focus, Planeta began
by planting the best international and local grape
varieties. He invested extensively in innovative
winemaking technology and state-of-the-art equipment,
and the formation of a distinguished team of winemakers,
led by internationally renowned oenologist Carlo
Corino. Read more about MandraRossa here.
Begin your visit to Settesoli with an informative
stroll through the vineyards with the estate’s
viticulturalist. Continue on to the winery for
a comprehensive tour and overview of the production
process, including vinification, bottling and
cellaring. (Please allow approximately 2 hours
for the full tour.)
Following the tour, you can participate in a
guided tasting of the estate’s top four
wines (5 euros) and enjoy a buffet lunch of regional
cuisine (10 euros). The onsite shop offers a range
of goods from wine to books, postcards, gifts
and assorted accessories for the wine lover.
Why not conclude your day with a Mediterranean-inspired
fine dining experience? Highly recommended locals
restaurants include Da Vittorio, Baglio San Vincenzo
and Il Vigneto. (Directions available at winery
– please inquire.)
