In Sicilian, \"sciara nuova\" means \"new lava flow.\" The vines here are planted on relatively new lava flow from the 1600s that has turned into thick gravel. This produces quite a rich wine, with beautiful aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo enticing; Mediterranean herbs, wild berries, and pretty rose notes on the nose, followed by a more elegant and tangy fruit spectrum on the palate, with of course the spice character so distinct in Etna Nerello. Integrated tannins and lively acidity round out this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A complex nose of almost vermouth-like aromas, dried cherries, cinnamon, oak bark, rich black cherries and hints of smoke. Firm tannin and acidity with a full body, a tight-knit finish and restrained toastiness in the aftertaste. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.\"\u003cbr\u003e- James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Cherry, blueberry, Earl Grey tea, chamomile, a bloody iron-like note. Medium-bodied, tight and tense, dark red fruits and mouth-perfume of dried flowers, pumice stone tannin, crisp acidity, cool and gently smoky closing out a finish of excellent length and precision. There’s a bit of drama here and X factor, and it’s maybe the wine where the mountain speaks most clearly. 95+ and could be 96 points in a year or so.

This wine draws its fruit from 90-year-old vines at 850 meters in elevation in the Contrada Sciaranuova. It sits very nicely on the palate with good primary intensity and elegantly chalky tannins. This is a limited release of just 2,075 bottles.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Monica Larner (The Wine Advocate)\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Passopisciaro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42009193676843,"sku":"2022 Passopisciaro Contrada S Sciaranuova Rosso","price":165.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2022PassopisciaroContradaSSciaranuovaRosso.webp?v=1784245563","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2022-passopisciaro-contrada-s-sciaranuova-rosso","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
