Winemaker Notes
Medium intensity ruby red color with a bouquet that enhances the red berries notes, with gentle spicy aromas and volcanic ash hints. On the palate is fresh, with soft tannins and a sapid finish.
Critical Acclaim
WE92
Wine Enthusiast
A light-catching garnet in the glass, this wine offers a restrained, alluring nose of tar, rose petals, wild strawberries and a fleeting note of fennel fronds. Acid streaks down the palate before strawberries, cherries and raspberries settle in, progressing toward a finale of espresso with a piece of dark chocolate and orange zest

I like the fragrant nose and the well-crafted tannins on the medium to full body, where there's a very satisfying balance, thanks to the lively acidity. Harmonious finish. Drink now.
Palmento Costanzo is a state-of-the-art cellar located in the Contrada Santo Spirito area of Passopisciaro. Palmento Costanzo uses different vessels, including stainless steel, cement and wood to obtain the level of oxidation required by its various expressions. Vines range from 30 to 100 years in age and are planted at 700 to 750 meters above sea level. Palmento is the name of ancient wineries with stone-carved fermentation tanks and all-wood presses. These old wineries represent an important part of Sicily’s prolific past. The palmentos are buildings of enormous beauty and at Palmento Costanzo the stone vats were refitted with made-to-measure stainless steel coating and gravity-flow processing. Yet, the architectural authenticity (including low ceilings and overhead wood beams that must be a challenge) has been left superbly intact. The enormous effort to restore this palmento pulls at the heartstrings of anyone who loves wine.
