Tasting notes
The 2013 Passorosso is a pure expression of Nerello Mascalese from one of Etna's most prolific and visionary producers. This wine was named Passopisciaro in the past, but its name has since been changed to Passorosso to avoid confusion with the geographic location Passopisciaro. The wine shows a light and luminous ruby color and it offers a tonic and bright quality of primary fruit. It is aged in large oak casks for 18 months and the oak imprint is minimal. The finish is flinty and dry. Some 38,000 bottles were produced.
