Most would presume that local homemade wine is not the best considering that the new technology and understanding that Enologist have in wine producing.
There are local people that are making wine in the same way as they did 50 years ago, using barrels of 25 years ago, which of course lack tannins from the wood.
BUT the wine Mimmo makes is superb, for the past 20 years he has continually been learning how to improve his wine making. Through using the different wood for barrel, by combining the various grape varieties, and continually to produce wine without any added preservatives.
Mimmo’s wine is ‘organic’ he doesn’t use anything to clean the wine, it is a natural ‘filtering’ process.
Wine tasting with dinner:
Meet Mimmo in the village of Sant’Ambrogio around 7.00 pm. He will take you to his cellar which is located in the village.
Mimmo will explain the whole process of his wine marking.
Start by tasting 2 different white wines then continue with the different vintages of the red Nero D’Avola wine (the main Sicilian red grape variety).

Mimmo’s lunch and wine tasting was my favorite part of the trip. I think it’s because I felt like I already knew him… He felt like family. He has a special gift and a light within. I am so happy that he has people pulling for him.
