About the wine

Andrea Franchetti initially founded the Tenuta di Trinoro winery in Tuscany out of great passion but also out of unwillingness to return to his old life. In high, previously unused areas, he has established vineyards and quickly vinified great wines with Bordeaux varieties. The locals initially shook their heads, and the critics soon applauded. Passopisciaro, founded in 2001, is his second stop. Once again, Andrea was the first to recognize the great potential of Etna in Sicily, the volcanic soils, the warm days and cool nights, the long growing season. And anyone who works with such passion and is so obsessed with quality will also plant new vines on an active volcano.

Tasting note
The wine is deep, shiny purple. On the nose, intense aromas of dark fruits, violets, graphite, licorice and oriental spices develop. On the palate, it is powerful and complex, with ripe tannins, balsamic depth and a long, spicy and mineral aftertaste.
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with truffles, veal, stews, porcini mushrooms.
Vinification
After traditional alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine aged for four to six months in French barriques and then for twelve months in large Slavonian oak barrels. A total of 3,525 bottles were filled during the waning moon in April 2024.
