VARIETAL 
Nerollo Mascalase, Cesanese & Petit Verdot

TASTING NOTES

The vineyards of Passopisciaro paint an idyllic scene basking in sunlight, yet a constant plume of smoke and the occasional ash-filled eruptions serve as a stark reminder of Etna’s volatile temperament. Each lava flow leaves behind a distinctive mineral profile with various terroirs.

 

Volcanic wines have come to be some of our favorites at the store and the Scinniri does not disappoint. It is an elegant example of wines from the Etna Rosso region with smoky minerality, balanced acidity and herbaceous, bright cherry fruit. Savory, sweet and floral blend harmoniously together and give you a glimpse into these terroir-driven wines.
