Note di degustazione
100% Nerello Mascalese. Lovely limpid ruby colour. Restrained nose but the palate has the fruit of Pinot and the structure of Nebbiolo – classic 'Pinot of the south' style. A little short overall, but there is enjoyable fruit. (RH)

The 2016 Etna Rosso Passorosso is the most accessible of the red wines presented by Andrea Franchetti and the team at Passopisciaro in the not-always-easy 2016 vintage. The wine is clean and forthcoming with a nice succession of wild berry and cassis, all framed by spice, tar and toasted aniseed. This wine makes itself immediately available for a pairing with roasted porchetta stuffed with fennel and herbs. The mouthfeel is crisp but compact on the close. Some 47,000 bottles were made.
