TASTING NOTES

Passopisciaro was established in 2000 by Andrea Franchetti, a well-known producer and owner of the Trinoro estate. The winery is located on the northern slope of Etna, specifically in Castiglione di Sicilia, 1,000 metres above sea level, and is a restored fortified farm building. The most cultivated grape is Nerello Mascalese, which here, because of the lava flows and various altitudes, is used to create different kinds of cru. It has the peculiarity of being ungrafted, which means that it has never been affected by phylloxera. In contrast, the most widely used non-native grapes are Chardonnay, Petit Verdot, and Cesanese d'Affile. The completely different profiles of the various vineyard areas, which cover 26 hectares of land at between 500 and 1,000 metres above sea level, are known by the name of the districts, or ‘contrade’. Contrada P di Passopisciaro is a Sicilian red wine based on the Nerello Mascalese grape from the Porcaria district. The vines are around 80 years old and are located at an altitude of 650 metres above sea level. The must ferments in stainless steel with brief contact with the skins before being placed into large oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and an ageing period of 18 months. In the glass, this wine is a splendid ruby red; on the nose, it is varied and extremely fresh: small red berry fruits dominate, mixed well with notes of rose, violet, and citrus. On the palate, it is fresh and mineral-tasting with a pleasant drinkability. An excellent wine for big occasions and ideal for pairing with roasted or grilled red meats, white meats, and stewed poultry.
