About Vini Franchetti
Andrea Franchetti arrived in Sicily in 2000 and restored an old farm and cellars on the higher slopes of Mt. Etna, over 1000m altitude, naming it Passopisciaro. Born to an American mother and Italian father and raised in Rome, he had launched into winemaking in the nineties. The program centers on Nerello Mascalese, alongside Petit Verdot, Cesanese d'Affile, and Chardonnay. The portfolio spans Passobianco, Contrada PC, Passorosso, Contrada C, Contrada Feudo di Mezzo, Porcaria, Contrada Guardiola, Contrada S, Contrada R, and Franchetti. The 20 Anni cuvée, a blend of Nerello Mascalese from all contradas, was produced only in the 2019 vintage.
