Description

Passopisciaro Passorosso 2023 is a blend of old-vine Nerello Mascalese sourced from multiple plots across the northern slopes of Mount Etna, between 550 and 800 metres above sea level. The diversity of volcanic soils — from fine ash to coarse lava stones — brings layered complexity and minerality to the wine.

The grapes are harvested by hand and gently vinified. Maceration lasted 8–9 days at controlled temperatures (26–28°C) to achieve a delicate extraction. The wine then aged for 16 months, mainly in large oak casks, with a small proportion in concrete vats to preserve purity and tension.

The 2023 vintage, shaped by a cool and rainy spring, reveals remarkable freshness and balance. On the palate, it is silky and vibrant, offering fragrant red fruit, citrus zest and a fine saline finish. Passorosso 2023 captures the elegance and energy of Etna’s high-altitude terroir, a wine of finesse and longevity.

UNCORK THE EXTRAORDINARY

“Fruity and leathery with aromatic depth, showing ripe blackberries and strawberries. This has medium body and firm, crisp acidity that’s almost sour. Despite the youthfulness,chewy and slightly chalky tannins are polished in the finish. Drink or hold.”

“The 2023 Passorosso is a pretty and perfumed effort with dusty rose and wild strawberry tones offset by a whiff of ashen stones. It’s lifted and fresh in style with tart raspberry and tantalizing acidity adding a subtle inner sweetness toward teh close. This tapers off with a pleasantly chewy sensation and hints of hard red candy that linger on.”
