Cured meats and aged cheeses, in particular Ragusa DOP or Sicilian Pecorino pepato. Dishes with porcini mushrooms or truffle. Recommended glass: Large glass for great red wines (Burgundy-type). Characteristics: The wide bowl allows the wine to aerate gradually and fully release its delicate and complex volcanic aromatic weave. Serving temperature: 16 - 18 °C. Curiosity about the winery and producer: Passopisciaro (today Vini Franchetti) was founded in 2000 by the visionary viticulturist Andrea Franchetti on the northern side of Etna, at about one thousand meters above sea level. Franchetti was among the great pioneers of the Etna wine renaissance, sensing before many others the untapped potential of the old bush-trained Nerello Mascalese vines rooted in lava and ash. The "Passorosso" represents the brewery’s most authentic soul of Etna according to their vision: a blend of grapes from different contrade located at different elevations, capable of merging in a single wine the complete expression of the volcanic terroir.
