PROTECTION OF THE
MAMERTINO DOC
THE HISTORY
The story of Doc Mamertino wines dates back to times long gone; it is said that it was Julius Caesar’s favourite wine, when in Ancient Rome it was possible to taste over one hundred wines from all over Europe
The centuries-old winemaking history of this area is proof that the culture of wine is intimately linked to the life of the local population (at least since 289 BC) when the “Mamertini”, a population of Campania origin, settled in the plains of Milazzo.

The Territory
A unique terroir: the vineyards overlook the Ionian Sea, the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands, while the highest active volcano in Europe watches over in the background. Climate, wind and traditions complete a scenery that gives life to wines from these original, small familial estates that conveys the story and biodiversity they surround themselves with.
The Wines of DOC Mamertino
Five varieties that give life to a dozen possible wines of the DOC Mamertino that reveal the region.
Full flavoured and light whites which prove to be well structured in the reserve wine. The reds show great drinkability and innovation which, thanks to a freshness typical of the territory, are suitable for all palates. When aged in wood they can also be of great consistency and longevity thanks to a good acidity and a suitable alcohol content.

The Association
In 2004 the DOC Mamertino received recognition, then in 2019 the association of producers was created, led by President Flora Mondello, which gave life to the current existence. The result is well-defined objectives and commitment since its inception.
