Etna Rosato 2023 Roberto Abbate 75 cl

Descrizione

History

It all started with the passion transmitted to Roberto by his older brother Enzo, who, attending the school under officers of the Guardia di Finanza in Cuneo, met Giuseppe Rinaldi back in 1975 and became passionate about the world of wine, when Roberto was just two years old. Over the years he passed on the same passion to Roberto, who expanded and enriched it to the point of producing wine for home use since 2005. It is from there that he slowly grew as a self-taught oenologist until he began producing wine from the grapes produced in Passopisciaro, a hamlet of the Municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia (CT) in a centuries-old vineyard of about 80 – 100 years in Contrada Feudo di Mezzo, at an altitude of 650 m above sea level, on the northern side of Etna.
