Merlot Mandrarossa
Merlot Mandrarossa - The international classic
The Merlot of the Mandrarossa winery was born after years of careful experimentation to identify the clones that could best express the characteristics of this variety, especially taking into account the particular Mediterranean microclimate. The result obtained is a Sicilian red wine with soft tannins and a savory and warm taste. Excellent versatile wine in food pairings.
