Mimmo Rosso 2022

Domenico De Gregorio (known to friends and family as Mimmo) is the head winemaker at Sicily’s exciting Cantine Settesoli. If you’re a fan of rich, smooth southern Italian reds, you’re in for a real treat with his namesake release.

Founded in 1958 in Menfi, Cantine Settesoli prides itself on crafting top-quality wines from native grape varieties. The cooperative’s vineyards are certified organic, and they were the first co-op in all of Italy to receive the VIVA certification from the Italian Ministry for Environment, Land and Sea (a program that promotes eco-friendly and sustainable viticulture).

Mimmo has 30 years of winemaking experience, and it’s evident in his namesake red. A marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, it’a velvety soft, with jammy red fruits offset by lovely oak-driven tones. As Mimmo explains on the wine’s back label, “It’s the kind of warm, velvety red we just love to drink over here in Sicily. My friends suggested I simply put my own name on it. So here it is…my love letter from Sicily. To you, signed by me.”

A great choice for an Italian-inspired feast. Secure your share today.
