Contrada R 2022 Vintage Overview

2022 OVERVIEW

From the high slopes of Etna, Passopisciaro Contrada R 2022 is a tightly coiled, volcanic-charged Nerello with vivid red and blue fruits cut by notes of spice, dried flowers and stone. The palate is energetic and juicy yet firmly structured, with crisp acidity and gritty, youthful tannins that give a clear sense of the rocky Rampante vineyard and promise real complexity with time in bottle. This is a serious, ageworthy contrada wine that will reward patience as its raw power settles into greater finesse.
