Passopisciaro is the Etna estate founded by Andrea Franchetti, whose work helped establish the volcano as one of Italy’s most compelling wine regions. Passorosso is made primarily from Nerello Mascalese sourced from old vines planted on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, where high elevations, volcanic soils, and dramatic day-to-night temperature shifts shape wines of freshness and structure. Produced with a restrained approach in the cellar, the wine highlights the transparency and mineral character that define Etna Rosso.
The 2023 vintage is energetic and aromatic, offering notes of sour cherry, wild raspberry, blood orange, dried herbs, and smoky volcanic earth. The palate is vibrant and finely textured, balancing bright acidity with supple tannins and a savory, mineral-driven finish. The wine captures the elegance and underlying tension that make Nerello Mascalese from Etna so distinctive.
Varietal: Nerello Mascalese
Appellation: Etna Rosso, Sicily, Italy
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Volcanic, savory, and mineral-driven
