Passopisciaro 2016 Passopisciaro
The hot summer of ’07 on Mount Etna terminated in damp wheather and overcast skies in October and early November, which is when we usually pick Nerello Mascalese.
The vines were able to use that humidity to jump out of hydric stress and grow slowly into a certain ripeness. We gradually picked from our vineyards on the flank of the vulcano, starting with the lowest, at 500 mt. a.s.l. and finishing at 1000 mt, at Guardiola. The wine is kind and young and very subtle; its powers are hidden; time in bottle will be bringing them out for a long time.
