Passopisciaro Passorosso
$70.99
Formerly Passopisciaro, Passorosso is made from the grapes of Nerello Mascalese, blending across different altitudes and soil types. This wine is a holistic expression of the breadth of flavors that Etna can produce with a character that distills this unique growing environment in a glass, reflecting the variations of each vintage. The wines age in large, neutral oak barrels and are unfiltered, presenting an interpretation of nerello mascalese that is bright, pure, red-fruited, mineral, and herbaceous, and with age, it begins to lose its color and gain exotic aromas of camphor, sandalwood, and spice. The first vintage was in 2001. Starting with this vintage, Passorosso has been designated Etna Rosso DOC.
Andrea Franchetti arrived on Mt. Etna in 2000 as one of the first of the modern wave of producers arriving on the volcano. There he found seventy to one hundred year-old, bush-trained vines across the northern side of the volcano across a variety of optimal sites between 550 and 1,000 meters (1,800 to 3,300 feet) above sea level. The grapes are taken from various contrade (crus) of Malpasso, Guardiola, Santo Spirito, Favazza and Arcuria; generally, the higher crus are on a more gravelly soil, the lower ones in a deeper powder made with more oxidized, older lavas.
Kavalan Ex-Bourbon Oak 46%
$169.99
Think of this as a reduced strength version of the Solist Bourbon. One other key difference, this is bottled not as a single cask, but rather in batches. 46%.
Producer Description: “Kavalan ex-Bourbon Oak dilutes Solist ex-Bourbon with Kavalan spring water to 46% strength. It is incredibly smooth with a soft sweetness, losing the harshness and the alcohol edge and lingering over those unique flavours. It is clean and fresh tropical fruitiness with pleasant vanilla, coconut and spices.”
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Clean with fresh tropical fruitiness and pleasant vanilla, coconut and spices. Imagine being soothed by that comfortable sea breeze with a calming and refreshing effect. This malt can do that for you after a hectic day at the office.
Palate: Soft, well-balanced natural sweetness, vanilla and oak spices, round and complex with silky smoothness.

From The Producer
"The berries are crushed and extracted with pure grain spirit. This process takes more than a month before all the delicate flavours are dissolved in the alcohol. After this extraction period the pulp that is left of the raspberries is separated from the extract. The pulp is gently pressed in a traditional wooden press. The final result of all this manual labour is a deep red extract that contains all the flavours and aroma’s from the fruit. Now we only add pure sugar and that is all that is needed to produce this wonderful fresh Framboise Liqueur with its refined and delicate raspberry flavour.
This liqueur can be enjoyed neat or over ice. Also worth trying is using it in cocktails and long drinks (with some bitter lemon) or simply with some decent white or sparkling wine. Another suggestion is to try it over simple vanilla ice cream to turn it into a special desert.
Our liqueurs contain no added fragrances, colors and flavors."
