Passopiscaro only uses grapes from their oldest vineyards in Contrada Guardiola for this deep and nuanced Nerello Mascalese. At up to 1,000 meters above sea level, these vines sit near a 1947 lava flow, and they yield wine that's aromatically complex with red fruit, violets, and herbs. The soft, round, full-bodied palate shows lively tannins and hints of balsamic and minerality. Bright ruby red Scent Elegant and complex, of red fruits, violets, black cherries and aromatic herbs Taste Full-bodied, soft and round, with mineral and balsamic hints and lively tannins.

Smoky and ashy in the glass, the 2022 Contrada Guardiola opens with a burst of ashen stones and grilled herbs, evolving into crushed black cherries and lifted by hints of menthol. It sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk as a polished wave of red and black fruits swirls around a core of lively acidity. Its structure comes through on the finish as a staining of primary concentration adds a firm grip. Saline minerals linger under an air of inner florals. The 2022 Guardiola was the result of two separate harvests that were about 20 days apart due to rain. This is a wine that contrasts stunning depth with an energetic feel.
