While the '06 Passopisciaro Rosso is now in the early stages of approachability, it will benefit from at least 2 to 3 more years of bottle age. A Sicilian wine, it pairs well with traditional fare and can stand up well to heavy tomato sauces... It is very Nebbiolo-like in character ...
The Rosso is 100% Nerello Mascalese. Its big brother, the '06 Passopisciaro Franchetti (WA97), is composed of Petit Verdot + Cesanese d'Affile...
Both wines are sourced from vineyards on the slopes of Mount Etna. Andrea Franchetti is the vinter and is renowned for his Tuscan reds.
