Tasting Notes: The Caruso & Minini Arancino is a skin-contact 'orange' wine made from mostly Catarratto grapes and a touch of Inzolia. These white grapes see 20-day skin maceration then stainless steel fermentation and aging. The wine is loaded with dried fruit and herbal notes with some tannic structure. Chill and serve with strong cheeses, roast pork or vegetables.
Estate History: Located on Sicily’s western-most coast near the town of Marsala, Caruso & Minini boasts a history that harkens back to the late 1800’s when Antonio Caruso bought the company to grow grapes for the nearby Marsala factories. The company was passed through subsequent generations until Nino Caruso finally decided to begin making and bottling his own wine in the mid 1900’s. In 2004, Stefano Caruso joined forces with Mario Minini of Lombardy to launch the present-day winery, producing wines from indigenous Sicilian varietals such as Catarratto, Nero d’Avola, Frappato, Inzolia, and Nerello Mascalese. Today, Stefano’s daughter Giovanna works closely with her father to head up this historic winery. While she helps support the estate as a whole Giovanna also cultivates five hectares organically, and she uses this fruit for her side project, the Naturalmente Bio series.
