“Once again, Franchetti has produced a number of wines that set the bar for what can be achieved on the Etna.”
Review by Antonio Galloni on Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate #205
Passopisciaro 2010, IGT Sicilia Rosso
The 2010 Passopisciaro is deceptively mid-weight, but behind the light color and seeming fleeting structure lies a deeply expressive core of perfumed red berries, crushed rocks, flowers and mint. A burst of deep salinity frames the bracing finish. Quite simply, this is a stunning wine. Think of the Passopisciaro as a cross of Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin and Gattinara. The Passopisciaro bottling is made from parcels in Guardiola and smaller pieces that aren’t large enough to be bottled separately. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
