Produced by Passopisciaro on Mount Etna, it presents a brilliant ruby colour. The aromatic profile reveals a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct mineral note\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with hints of citrus, wild berries, peppercorns, fern and camphor. On the palate, it is structured and balanced, supported by a noble tannic texture. The pronounced \u003cstrong\u003esmoky persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it ideal for pairing with pork, roast meats and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes grow on the \u003cstrong\u003enorthern slopes of Mount Etna\u003c\/strong\u003e, at an altitude between five hundred and one thousand one hundred metres. The historic vineyards are located in the districts of Spirito, Moganazzi, Favazza, Feudo di Mezzo and Malpasso, where cool nights preserve the integrity of the aromas. The roots delve into soils composed of \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic ash\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecoarse gravel\u003c\/strong\u003e, which impart a vibrant gustatory tension and an authentic territorial character to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with alcoholic fermentation in steel vats for about fifteen days. During vinification, natural elements such as \u003cstrong\u003eclay and propolis\u003c\/strong\u003e, grapefruit and sulphur extracts are used. Malolactic fermentation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by eighteen months of ageing. The wine matures for ten months between the wood of the barrels and cement, then completes its journey with a \u003cstrong\u003erest in the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e that defines its final harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2000, Andrea Franchetti restored ancient, centuries-old vineyards abandoned on the \u003cstrong\u003enorthern slope of Mount Etna\u003c\/strong\u003e, founding the Passopisciaro estate.
