About the wine
Andrea Franchetti initially founded the Tenuta di Trinoro winery in Tuscany, created vineyards in high, previously unused locations and quickly vinified great, sophisticated, erotic 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. And anyone who works with such passion and is so obsessed with quality will also plant new vines on an active volcano. The cultivation follows organic principles without artificial fertilizers and herbicides. World-class.

Tasting note
The wine is bright ruby red. On the nose, aromas of red berries, flint, dried herbs and a touch of iron develop. On the palate, it is firm and fresh, with fine-grained tannin and a long, mineral note.
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with risotto, truffles, mild cheeses, barbecues.
Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand and selected for ripeness. This is followed by a strict selection in the vineyard and partly in the cellar. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in steel or cement at a controlled temperature. It lasts about 15 days with gentle weaving of the pomace hat. The wine ages for 18 months in large wooden barrels and some concrete.
