Mitolo Wines

Mitolo Wines is set within the McLaren Vale wine region. With its rolling hills, proximity to the seaside, and ancient, yet fertile soils, McLaren Vale reminds owner Frank Mitolo in many ways of the coastal towns of his parents’ Italian homeland.

The first wine Mitolo produced, the 2000 G.A.M. Shiraz, was named after Frank’s children Gemma, Alex and Marco. Since then they have added another ten wines to the range, each with its own distinct personality and story. Frank’s Italian heritage runs strongly through the range: they use the Italian varietals Vermentino and Sangiovese and the Italian appassimento technique of drying fruit to make the Jester Cabernet and Serpico wine. But perhaps most importantly of all, Mitolo wines are made to suit the Italian foods of Frank’s homeland.

Every new vintage of Mitolo is a reminder of his viticultural lineage and his parents’ humble beginnings. The Mitolo business meetings are still held around the kitchen table over Sunday lunch, served with the foods of their heritage and wine. At the heart of it all, in the wine style, in the people, is the motto that Frank’s father brought with him from Abruzzo – forte a gentile: strong and gentle.

Mitolo Wines are excited to announce that they will be getting underway with developing their new Cellar Door facility on McMurtrie Road, which is due to open in 2016.

 “In my life, it’s all about family and friends. A table, served with food and wine made with passion and love. This is the essence of Mitolo”. – Frank Mitolo.
