Domaine Caruso & Minini

Stefano Caruso and Mario Minini share the same ambition: to revive Marsala’s centuries-old winemaking tradition, one of the most distinguished in Italy. Thanks to their unwavering determination, the wines of the Caruso and Minini Estate surprise with their originality, character, and elegance.

Priceless treasures, the Giummarella and Cuttaia vineyards have belonged to the Caruso family for three generations: 120 hectares of hills halfway between Salemi and Marsala, 15 kilometers from the estate. The vineyards lie at the heart of an area long renowned for its ability to produce grapes suitable for crafting great wines.

In these hills, the work is always surprising: the variety of soils, the different exposures to wind and sun, and the varying altitudes require adapting cultivation methods and studying the best combination of soil, climate, and grape. Since 2004, wine production has taken place—by choice and out of passion—in an old “Baglio” located in the heart of Marsala’s traditional wine-making district

For Caruso and Minini, working within these walls—built in the late 19th century to produce but also to protect the wine—is not only a source of pride but also a great pleasure.
