Passorosso Etna Rosso DOC

Description :

To enjoy a glass of Passorosso Etna DOC is like making a trip around the Passopisciaro contrade. It brings to the table Nerello Mascalese selected from Passopisciaro's contrade lying between the altitudes of 550 and 800 meters / 1,804 and 2,624 feet and is a holistic expression of the Etna territory, bringing together many different lava soils. All vines which contribute to this wine are more than 100 years old.
Vinification: The extraction from skins and seeds was kept to a minimum with 8 to 9 days of maceration, while fermentation temperatures never exceeded 26-28C/79- 82F. The aging process, which lasted 16 months, took place mainly in large oak barrels to encourage the evolution of tannins, with a small portion aged in concrete vats.
