Passopisciaro Passorosso

Etna 2014 is great

Etna 2014 is fantastic and the Passopisciaro Passorosso is, even compared to the other red Etna wines, from this vintage a great buy.

Too young but still very good

I like these wines so much, that even knowing they need time I keep opening before I should. This time the alcohol wasn't yet integrated, despite not being particularly high (14%). It was delicious, but not very forthcoming. Although better the second day, it was still austere and ungiving. I would love it if the producer could release his wine a couple of years later than he does now, but nowadays business comes always first.

Very solid entry level Etna

Lovely aromas of red fruit and spices. Comes from old vines. Still a bit young, grippy, with high acidity. Drink or hold for another 2-3 years. Great value for the price.

Schöner, tiefgründiger Essenbegleiter aus Sizilien

In der Nase zeigt er Kräuter, etwas Zimt und rote Früchte die sehr dezent sind. Am Gaumen überzeugt er mit einer tollen Säurestruktur, irrer Spannung und Salzigkeit, die sofort den nächsten Schluck fordert. Dabei ist der Alkohol sehr dezent im Hintergrund. Ein toller Begleiter zu Pasta mit Fleischsoßen, zu Geschmortem, klassischer Pizza oder einfach zum solo genießen. So macht Italien Spaß.

Nerello Mascalese goloso y fresco.

Nerello Mascalese fino, intenso y brillante. Mucha frescura en este 2016, que resulta realmente goloso. Passorosso, que es una mezcla de diversos terruños a diferentes altitudes sobre el Etna, me obligará a degustar las otras etiquetas de la casa elaboras a partir de cada una de esas “contradas” que cabe suponer deben ser aún más expresivas (y que son un poco más caras). Riquísimo.
