BackgroundMandrarossa wines were born out of a mission for excellence when a team of industry experts joined forces to create high quality wines of both indigenous and international varietals from Sicily to introduce to the world. This team of experts identified top estates that yield the best quality and worked closely with select growers to deliver the truest and highest valued expression of the selected varietals offered by Mandrarossa wines. Ideal microclimatic conditions of intense sunlight, coastal sea breezes and rich chalky soils combine to produce these rich, aromatic wines. Mandrarossa Frappato is fruity and lush. Grown in the sandy dunes typical of southwest Sicily, at 820 feet above sea levels, in a climate that allows for warm days and breezy nights, giving this wine a vibrant ruby color with intriguing aromas of red berries and sweet spices.
