The Wines
At Montecarrubo, every wine begins with the vineyard.
Different soils, different sites and different grape varieties are treated individually, allowing each wine to retain a clear sense of origin. Fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts, intervention in the cellar is kept measured, and used French oak is employed to support rather than overshadow the character of the fruit and the land.
The result is a collection defined by freshness, precision and a distinctly Mediterranean identity.
Three vineyards. Individual expressions.
At the heart of Montecarrubo are Quattro Venti, Vigna Grande and Vignolo.
Each vineyard has its own soil composition and aromatic identity. The grapes from each site are harvested and vinified separately every year, preserving the individual character of each vineyard and allowing the differences between them to emerge naturally in the wines.
For Vigna Grande and Vignolo, Syrah has a particularly important role. Both were originally planted in 2010 from massal selections originating in Hermitage, yet their different soils give rise to markedly different expressions.
Vignolo Bianco
Pure, vibrant and naturally expressive.
Made from 100% organic Grillo, Vignolo Bianco is fermented with natural yeasts, with minimal sulphur and no filtration.
A restrained approach in the cellar preserves the wine’s natural energy and clarity, allowing the character of the grape and its Sicilian origin to remain at the forefront.

Vignolo
Freshness. Salinity. Elegance.
Vignolo is a single-vineyard Syrah grown on an east-facing site characterised by volcanic sand and abundant marine fossils.
Intense black fruit meets green pepper, thyme and fresh spice, while fine tannins and pronounced savouriness create a wine of precision, verticality and persistence.

Cuvée Susanne Bianco
Pure, naturally fermented and quietly expressive.
Cuvée Susanne Bianco 2025 is made from 100% organic Chardonnay grown in Sicily. The wine is fermented with natural yeasts, with minimal use of sulphur, then transferred to tank for bottling without filtration.
A deliberately restrained cellar approach allows the variety and its Sicilian origin to remain at the centre of the wine.

Il Piccolo
A Mediterranean blend, vinified with restraint.
Il Piccolo 2023 brings together 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 20% Syrah in a blend that reflects Montecarrubo’s measured approach to winemaking.
Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts and is followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine undergoes two barrel-to-barrel rackings before being transferred to tank and bottled without filtration.
