Eduardo Torres Acosta grew up making wine on Tenerife's volcanic soils before moving to Sicily in 2012. After working at Arianna Occhipinti and Passopisciaro, he launched his own project in 2014, eventually converting a small Etna garage into his winery in 2018. The Pirrera vineyard is a single contrada at 850 meters on Etna's coolest north-facing slope, named for volcanic stones from a 1614 lava flow. Vines over 50 years old, mostly Nerello Mascalese with local varieties, foot trodden whole cluster, spontaneously fermented in cement without temperature control, then aged 16 months in large Slavonian oak. Very little sulfur. Ethereal and high-toned with fine tannins and vibrant acidity. For grilled meats or aged cheeses.

"Zests of blood orange and nuances of sage come together with crushed wild berries as the 2022 Rosso Pirrera evolves in the glass. This is a pure and perfumed effort with pretty red berry fruits and an array of sweet spice that swirls throughout. It tapers off crisp and nearly crunchy in feel as edgy tannins frame the finish and hints of lavender pastille maintain the wine's floral persona. This is a total pleasure to taste." —Eric Guido

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Bowler Wine has to say about this wine:

90% Nerello Mascalese/10% other local varieties. Pirrera is a single site at 850 meters on the north side or versante nord of Mt. Etna; its name is rooted in the particularly rocky nature of the vineyard. The vineyard had been abandoned decades before Acosta began its rehabilitation. The planting is mixed and includes Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Alicante and Garnacha; the whites include Minnella, Catarratto, Grecanico and Inzolia. The vines average around 50 years in age and are planted in alberello. The sandy soils are rich in volcanic ash and stones.
