Franchetti Passopisciaro 2020: An Etna Wine of Excellence

Franchetti is the flagship wine of the renowned Passopisciaro estate on Etna, presenting its 2020 vintage as a work of winemaking art. The fruit of Petit Verdot and Cesanese d’Affile grapes grown on the unique volcanic soils of Contrada Guardiola, this super-Etna represents the bold vision of Andrea Franchetti, an internationally renowned producer.

The vines, planted with high density and meticulous care, create an ideal environment for the grapes, with more than 10,000 plants per hectare. The volcanic soil gives Petit Verdot spicy notes and an upright body, while Cesanese d’Affile contributes delicacy and unique aromas.

Andrea Franchetti’s philosophy is to create a distinctive wine that expresses his personal vision, distinguishing himself from native wines. Franchetti, produced since 2005, is a sensory journey, black as Etna’s lava, with unique concentration and depth.

The blend varies each year, driven by the quality of the grapes and the creativity of the producer. Vinification in steel, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in French barriques, gives Franchetti an unparalleled complexity.

Explore the magic of Franchetti Passopisciaro 2020, a wine that embodies the excellence of Etna, with its richness, depth and complexity that are Andrea Franchetti’s distinctive signature.
