The 2022 Passopisciaro Terre Siciliane Rosso IGT Contrada Chiappemacine captures the structural elegance and volcanic minerality emblematic of eastern Sicily’s coastal foothills. Presented in a standard 750 ml bottle, this bottling reflects consistent cellar practices and careful fruit selection, delivering a polished interpretation of its geographical indication.

Tasting Notes


A bright medium body carries core notes of wild strawberry, dried cherry, and Mediterranean thyme, supported by fine-grained tannins and brisk natural acidity. The finish reveals a pronounced stony quality and lingering herbal lift, characteristics drawn from the region’s ancient marine sands and weathered basalt soils.

Suggested Food Pairings


This Italian red performs best alongside dishes that balance richness with earthy or acidic elements. Serve with grilled salsiccia e friarielli, slow-braised rabbit in red wine sauce, or mushroom risotto. It also cuts through cured meats like finocchiata and complements aged sheep’s milk cheeses such as pecorino stagionato.

Serve at 16–18 °C to highlight the wine’s aromatic complexity and balance the tannic structure.

93-95 Points
"The 2022 Etna Rosso Contrada Chiappemacine, tasted from barrel, is

rosy and perfumed with hints of exotic spice, giving way to notes of

dried strawberry. This is supple and round, quite elegant in feel, with

crisp minerality and crunchy wild berry fruits. There's an abundance of

energy within, along with a balance of primary concentration. The 2022

tapers off long, structured and fresh. The potential here is very high.

Contrada Chiappemacine blends volcanic soils at higher elevations

with limestone in the lower parts. This is an understated beauty.
