The evolution of a wine is what makes it unique, always ready to give our palate new sensations, renew, this is what IL MUSMECI Etna doc rosso 2010 - Tenuta di Fessina has transmitted us, an Etna wine that in our opinion has not only keep good but also improved with the passing of time. Nine years after the harvest (and seven from the bottling) it needs certainly breathing some minutes, so it has be opened 15 minutes before drinking it at least. The perfumes have evolved from fruity to tertiary with hydrocarbons notes and lightly sulphur. At the palate the minerality is strong keeping it fresh despite the years have passed, with tastes that maintain the direction of the tertiaries as it already happened to the olfaction of this Sicilian wine by Tenuta di Fessina.

The Etna is nowadays considered a competed and desired destination among the wine producers. Something that may look contradictory, due to the implicit challenges and difficulties that involves the morphology of the territory in relation to the cultivation of grapes and then the transformation in Etna doc. But this exactly the main reason: the distinctiveness of this territory, the clime and its obstacles give the Etna wines unique characteristics, which seem in a perfect balance with the territory. And this is exactly what we felt tasting the Sicilian wine PASSOROSSO ETNA - PASSOPISCIARO, an Etna rosso doc, produced by wine cellar Passopisciaro rewarded by slow wine 2018, endowed with an intense red ruby color. The nose expresses intense red fruit sensations, while the palate is elegantly mineral, with a velvety tannin due to the 18 months of barrique.
