The 2012 Passopisciaro Rosso is a gorgeous Nerello Mascalese sourced from the contradas of Arcuria, Malpasso, Favazza, Guardiola and Feudo di Mezzo. The wine itself is bright and focused, with pretty aromas of cherries, red berries, sweet licorice, mint and wet stones, which all come together beautifully. On the palate this is silky and elegant with lovely acidity and delicious bright red fruits lingering on the finish. This is already showing plenty of appealing characteristics, however it is should only improve as it evolves over time. (Best 2015-2026) - August, 2015 (JD)
