This collection brings together labels that tell the story of the volcano through different contrade, vintages, and distinctive interpretations, with a strong territorial imprint and a recognizable personality.

The profile of Passopisciaro Franchetti wines

The collection includes white and red wines from some of the most representative contrade of Etna, such as Chiappemacine, Passochianche, Sciaranuova, Guardiola, and Porcaria, as well as iconic labels like Passobianco, Passorosso, and Franchetti. The result is a range that combines precision, depth, and mineral tension, with a style that enhances the uniqueness of the volcanic soils and the altitude of the vineyards.

Among the grapes and interpretations present, the Nerello Mascalese stands out, a symbol grape of Etna, which finds in these bottles an elegant, layered, and authentic expression. The red wines express structure, energy, and finesse, while the whites offer freshness, sapidity, and a strong territorial identity.
