Mamertino D.O.C. Riserva is born on the hills of Milazzo, facing the Aeolian Islands. It is named after the Mamertines, who settled in the area during the Roman Empire and began producing this wine.

Tasting:

Mamertino presents a ruby red color with violet reflections. On the palate, it is velvety and well balanced, with sweet notes of plum and cherry. The aroma is intense and reminiscent of dark fruit jam.
