Passorosso Etna Rosso DOC Tenuta di Passopisciaro 2017

750ml

SGD 78.00

91 points, Robert Parker

The 2017 Etna Rosso Passorosso is a mid-weight wine with added succulence and concentration that comes naturally to this vintage. The wine shows the characteristics of Etna with wild berry aromas that cede to blue flower, smoke, tar, toasted aniseed and campfire ash. This is one of the most accessible and easy-drinking reds from Andrea Franchetti.

Tasting Notes: This 2017 Passorosso opens with aromas of red fruits like cherry and raspberry, along with hints of citrus and floral notes. As it breathes, deeper aromas of earth, smoke, minerals, and perhaps even a touch of spice emerge. On the palate, the flavors mirror the nose, with juicy red fruit complemented by savory notes of volcanic ash, herbs, and a hint of licorice. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering, leading to a finish that is both graceful and enduring.
