Domaine Caruso & Minini

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

The Giummarella and Cuttaia vineyards, a priceless heritage, 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 known for its ability to produce grapes suitable for making great wines.

Working these hills is always a surprising experience: the variety of soils, the differing exposures to wind and sun, and the varying altitudes require adapting cultivation methods and finding the best combination of soil, climate, and grape variety. Since 2004, wine production has taken place—by choice and out of passion—in a historic “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.
