About the wine

Andrea Franchetti initially founded the Tenuta di Trinoro winery in Tuscany out of great passion but also out of reluctance to return to his old life. He has cultivated vineyards in high, previously unused locations and quickly vinified great wines with Bordeaux varieties. The locals shook their heads at first, the critics soon applauded. Passopisciaro, founded in 2001, is his second stop. And again Andrea was the first to recognize the great potential of Mount Etna in Sicily, the volcanic soils, the warm days and the cool nights, the long growing season. And anyone who works with such passion and is so obsessed with quality also plants new vines on an active volcano.
