Passopisciaro Etna Rosso Passorosso 2019
An assemblage of ancient grapes of mascalese nerello coming from different vineyards situated at different altitudes on the northern side of Etna. In general, the highest Contrade lie on more gravelly soils with a larger grain, while the lower ones on finer and deeper soils composed of older lava flows, now oxidized and reduced to lava powder. This wine concentrates the characteristics of different terroirs in a single bottle to offer a global idea of a territory.

Colour

Shining ruby red.

Bouquet

It has a clear mineral trace that crosses a nose characterized by aromas of citrus and wild fruits, peppercorns, touches of fern and camphor, fine spices and herbs.

Flavour

In the mouth is structured and well-balanced, supported by noble and dissolved phenolic mass. Long smoky persistence.
