While this wine is in fact created like a dessert wine, we approached it almost as a vermouth or an interesting \"could it be minimal inrtervention Marsala\" mixing it right away with soda and adding a twist. Caruso e Minini is located on Sicily's westernmost coast in the Marsala region. In fact, they boast a history that dates 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 several 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e We love it with…\u003c\/strong\u003e seafood (as a spritz), bleu cheese (neat), patas bravas with a bit of a kick (as a spritz or neat)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aperitifs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500mL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Grillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sicily, Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual harvest in crates, after the natural drying of the bunches on the plant.
