Le Due Contrade Mixed Case highlights the distinct personalities of two exceptional single-vineyard wines from Passopisciaro, an iconic estate on Mount Etna. Founded by the visionary winemaker Andrea Franchetti, Passopisciaro has been instrumental in redefining the potential of Etna wines, crafting expressions of Nerello Mascalese that capture the nuances of the region’s volcanic soils. The two wines in this mixed case are made from old-vine Nerello Mascalese and showcase the dramatic influence of Mount Etna’s volcanic soils. Contrada P Porcaria Terre Siciliane IGT is bold and structured, offering deep complexity and richness. Contrada C Chiappemacine Terre Siciliane IGT expresses a more elegant, refined profile with bright acidity and minerality. Our mixed cases are inclusive of tax and bottle deposit.
