A blend of ancient Nerello Mascalese grapes characterizes Passorosso, coming from various vineyards and located at different altitudes on the northern side of Etna.

The grape harvest takes place towards the end of October. After a rigorous selection of the bunches and careful pressing-destemming, we proceed with the malolactic fermentation. Subsequently, the wine ages in large oak barrels for a period of 18 months.

The result is a wine with impeccable maturation and perfect balance, with a ruby ​​red color and garnet nuances. The aromatic profile includes hints of berries, graphite, anise and sandalwood, while on the palate it is velvety, intense and concentrated.

This wine pairs beautifully with meat, first courses from the land and mature cheeses.
