Tenuta di Passopisciaro

Tenuta di Passopisciaro is under the control of Andrea Franchetti, an iconic producer, was first known for his Tuscan wine Tenuta di Trinoro. At Trinoro, he created a vineyard, essentially from scratch, clearing rough woodland terracing and planting it – the entire works. Here, on Etna, his task has been more about resurrection rather than creation, bringing long-since abandoned vineyards back into production and, these vines are planted on the slopes of a very clearly live volcano! This strangely beautiful, totally arresting terroir presents a unique palette of aromatics to the winemaker.
