AG must be smoking the ash that dominated this wine, liquid smoke and savory herbs. More of a pizza wine than serious study into Sicily’s potential imo

2005 Passopisciaro Sicilia Rosso - Dry, medium plus acid, medium(-) body, medium alcohol. Tight texture with gripping moderate tannins. Aromas and flavors of ash, salted black cherries, iron/rust, bitter herbs and an oily floral essence. Right now it's all about austere red fruits and earthy mineral. Drink now.

In a wonderful place. Sweet berry, leather, and liquid stone with dried flowers on the finish.

Wishing I were on Etna right now while Passopisciaro's Nerello Mascalese grapes are coming in from Contrada Porcaria. Meanwhile I'll be enjoying the 2012 Passopisciaro Rosso, drinking great with its fresh, ripe red fruits and peppery, mineral-driven finish.
