Passopisciaro - Passorosso 2019

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Roses and cherries galore waft up from the 2019 Passorosso with ease. This is silky-smooth and cool-toned in feel, mixing juicy acidity with a pleasant inner sweetness that creates a seductively vibrant yet fruit-forward expression. The 2019 cleans up beautifully, leaving a coating of round tannins that create a classically dry feel, as hints of spiced citrus and hard red candies slowly fade. The pleasure factor is turned up high here, and the balance is on point. 

Bottled under a waning moon in June 2021, Passopisciaro's blended red from the northern slopes of Mount Etna draws its fruit from vines aged between 80 and 110 years old grown in the various contradas which make up its range of single-vineyard bottlings. Ripe red cherry and pomegranate scents with a hint of earthiness and floral overtones are followed in the mouth by tangy red fruits, prominent acidity and velvety grip on the cheeks. The long finish is succulent, earthy and minerally, with some barrel spice.
