Shop Caruso e Minini

Our History

Caruso e Minini is a joint venture between two families and two different stories that merge when Stefano Caruso, the third generation of winemakers, meets Mario Minini, owner of a marketing company in Northern Italy.

Together, back in 2004, built the foundations of Caruso & Minini, a state of the art winery in Marsala, a city at the extreme part of western Sicily.

It is an ambitious challenge, which sees as protagonists the Caruso family’s agricultural tradition and the Minini sales expertise. A Winning bet because, to date, wines reach fans in more than 30 countries around the world.

The Winery

Tradition and competence, with a look into the future. In fact, today Stefano is flanked by his two daughters Giovanna and Rosanna who are actively taking part in the daily work at the winery. Management in pink that has brought a breath of freshness among the barrels.

An old “Baglio” built in 1904 in the heart of the traditional Marsala’s wine-cellar area, is the home of Caruso & Minini.
It is here where the fruits of our vineyards are transformed by a wonderful team of men and women that take care of the process. Our mission statement is indisputable: pass down to every bottle the values of our tradition creating modern expression of Sicilian wines with devotion to details and emphasis to quality.
