Passorosso Etna Rosso DOC Tenuta di Passopisciaro 2017

Passorosso Etna Rosso DOC Tenuta di Passopisciaro 2017

Andrea Franchetti, undaunted by molten rock, was one of the first to plant on the perilous slopes of Mount Etna. An eruption in 1947 demarcated the core of the property, which is now bordered at its upper limit by a ridge of black gravel, the cooled remains of that lava spill. Andrea established the estate in 2000 and has since turned it into one the region’s stars, as well as a global proponent of just what can be achieved on volcanic soils.

"Amidst an array of red and black berries, there is singular tannic grip and crunchy volcanic minerals. Brooding and earthy, this will give pleasure in relative youth, with food, but will also age well."
