Passopisciaro Contrada C 2021

Contrada Chiappemacine is the lowest of Passopisciaro’s contrada bottling, 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.
