A limited-edition wine produced to celebrate Passopisciaro’s 20th vintage on Mt. Etna, this blends special selections of Nerello Mascalese from each of the contrade the estate occupies. The seductive spices of Sciaranuova, the structure of Guardiola, delicate Rampante flowers, the juicy red fruits of Porcaria, and the herbaceous notes of Chiappemacine come together in an ethereal, harmonious wine. The seductive spices of Sciaranuova, the structure of Guardiola, delicate Rampante flowers, the juicy red fruits of Porcaria and the herbaceous notes of Chiappemacine come together to create one ethereal representation of our terroir. With this wine we celebrate the past, the present and the future.
