What to say

  • Ruby red color with burgundy hues, a fresh bouquet of spices and wild berries on the nose, and on the palate, the same scents return, offering a rounded mouthfeel, good tannins, and a long, persistent finish.
  • Caruso & Minini grew out of the Caruso family's century-old vineyards in the Trapani countryside, which Francesco Caruso first planted in the early 1900s.
  • In the late 1990s Nino Caruso's sons Stefano, Francesco and Roberto partnered with the Minini family of Brescia, giving the estate its own production and bottling and a route to around 40 export markets.
