Passopisciaro Wines Etna

Andrea Franchetti's Etna estate, producing single-contrada (sub-area) Nerello Mascalese wines that demonstrate the extraordinary diversity of Etna's volcanic terroir. Each contrada wine — Chiappemacine, Guardiola, Porcaria, Rampante, Sciaranuova — has a distinct mineral signature from different soil compositions and altitudes.

Passopisciaro's single-contrada Nerello Mascalese wines are Etna's most acclaimed bottles internationally, demonstrating that each volcanic parcel on the mountain produces genuinely distinct wine — a Burgundy-like classification of terroir on an Italian volcano.
