Passopisciaro "Passorosso" Etna Rosso 2023

Vin Chicago: 92 Points

(2/2026) Pouring a pale, transluscent, slighly hazy ruby, this volcanic red immediately shows life. Crafted from 100% Nerello Mascalese, carrying an Etna designation, it is excellent, offering red flowers, taut red berries, lavendar, pepper and moutain anice. In the mouth, this grippy, dusty red gives volcanic earth, high pitched tension, medium tannins and lively enegy. There is much to love here - what an amazing food wine!

(10/16/2025) The 2023 Etna Rosso Passorosso is designed not as an entry wine but to represent the totality of what the vintage has to offer. It opens with pretty and mineral-driven notes of dusty earth, savory, peppery spice, ripe raspberries, and orange. Medium-bodied, it has fine tannins, a zesty lift of orange peel, and notes of cranberries and smoky earth. Drink 2025-2037.

(5/2025) The 2023 Passorosso is a pretty and perfumed effort with dusty rose and wild strawberry tones offset by a whiff of ashen stones. It's lifted and fresh in style with tart raspberry and tantalizing acidity adding a subtle inner sweetness toward the close. This tapers off with a pleasantly chewy sensation and hints of hard red candy that linger on. Drinking Window: 2026 - 2030.
