The 2023 Etna Rosato Feudo Pignatone Sciauro is actually a straw yellow color, presenting an enticing bouquet of sweet spices, crushed almonds and peach sorbet. This is deeply textural—silky-smooth and round, with ripe orchard fruits and minty herbal tones motivated by brisk acidity. It finishes crunchy and long with a candied citrus resonance and remarkable freshness. The Feudo Pignatone Sciauro is easily one of the most interesting Rosés being produced in Italy today. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2026 By Eric Guido on March 2024

Feudo Pignatone Rosato Sciauro is created from a selection of Nerello Mascalese grapes grown organically on the Contrada (an ancient estate usually aligning with a historic lava flow) of the same name in the municipality of Randazzo on the northern slope of Mount Etna at an altitude of approximately 700 meters. The grapes used in Feudo Pignatone Rosato Sciauro come from vines between 30 and 100 years old. A meticulous selection is carried out in the vineyard to produce a fresh, mineral, savory rosé wine, an unmistakable ambassador for the variety and the terroir

Vintage conditions: The 2021 vintage began with a mild winter that favoured an early resumption of growth, before sharp drops in temperature in mid-April that slowed development and the growing cycle. Summer saw a period of high temperatures in July that then normalised in August leading to a period of fine weather. In September, some episodes of rain rebalanced the ripening and growth cycle so that we were able to harvest perfectly healthy, well-balanced grapes.
