Passito
Gianfranco Ferrè
Feudi del Pisciotto
A true challenge: Gewürztraminer and Semillon, two uncommon vines for Sicily, yet selected and used in equal proportions to bring to life a Passito wine atypical for the island. The intensely aromatic notes of Gewürztraminer blend perfectly with the excellent structure of the Semillon; everything is supported by a perfect acidity. On the label, the masterful stroke of Gianfranco Ferrè, an architect keen on fashion, tells the story of this great international varietal “marriage" in Sicily.
