Tasting Note

Red berry, baking spice and a balsamic whiff of camphor lead the nose. On the racy, linear palate, firm acidity and polished tannins accompany sour cherry, orange zest, mineral and aniseed. Taut refined tannins balance the vibrant energy

Product Notes

Passopisciaro Passorosso Etna Rosso is a captivating Italian red wine hailing from the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. It is made from 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes, which are grown in volcanic soil unique to this region. The wine is known for its ruby red color, impeccable balance, and intense aroma of dark fruit and spice. On the palate, it offers flavors of cherry, raspberry, and smoke, with a hint of minerality and silky tannins that linger long after the finish. This wine pairs perfectly with hearty meats and bold Italian dishes, making it a must-try for any serious wine enthusiast.

About the Winery

Passopisciaro

The story of Passopisciaro began in 2000 when founder Andrea Franchetti took it upon himself to restore the decaying cellars and farm on Mount Etna’s slopes. His hard work and determination led to the drastic change in the old area, making it what we see today. He started by clearing the existing ancient vines that covered the plot. The next step entailed restoring the terraces by replanting the grapevines at a density of about 12,000 vines per hectare.
