Depth in a lighter package: 2007 Passopisciaro, Nerello Mascalese, Sicilia IGT
What a beautiful wine from the visionary winemaker Andrea Franchetti, the man behind Tenuta di Trinoro in Tuscany.
Grown in the volcanic soils of Mount Etna in Sicily, this wine shows purity of minerality, a spicy hint of sandalwood meets bight red cherry and perfumy orange blossom with a long graceful finish. A wine that's richer than it looks. I would like to note the wine sees some French oak, but it wasn't pronounced on the nose or palate. Anthony Garciawww.wineisdivine.com
