Revitalising native Sicilian grapes

Smaller wineries have sprung up in

the past decade with private investment and a strong interest in the potential of the native grapes from Sicily. One example is Caruso & Minini. When Mario Minini met Stefano Caruso, it sparked a long-held dream to produce a wine in the historical winemaking region of Marsala in Western Sicily. The estate’s grapes are grown in the vineyards of Giummarella and Cuttaia, located in a hilly area east of Marsala, at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level. They focus on traditional varieties which are perfectly suited for the hot Sicilian sun. The management has been passed on to Giovanna and Rosanna Caruso, Stefano’s daughters, who started an organic conversion on the estate.
