Organic/Bio At just 1,800 feet elevation, the lowest of Passopisciaro’s Contrada vines grow on the last edges of Mount Etna lava. The vines push through the lava to limestone and develop more rich, round, textures than the other wines. It’s full of fruit and nicely spiced with limestone acids that keep things fresh and very drinkable.
"Polished and lightly chewy with berry, strawberry and pumice aromas and flavors. It’s medium- to full-bodied but not heavy with tannin tension and fresh acidity. Cashmere. The vineyards are about 500 meters high. Open grained."
"Contrada Chiappemacine is the lowest of Passopisciaro's contrada bottlings, situated at 550m where the estate owns 1.2ha of vines on a thin layer of lava over limestone bedrock. A bold nose with some alcohol alongside intense hedgerow berry and herb scents leads to a tightly wound, succulent and sapid palate. A concentrated sweet, creamy red fruit core is wrapped in a veil of stony, floral notes and fine, structural tannins, with a touch of alcohol evident on the finish. 4,000 bottles produced."
