Winery

Andrea Franchetti works with two very different vineyard projects. He created his first estate Tenuta di Trinoro from scratch, on rough farm and woodland in the far-flung reaches of southwest Tuscany. Though a significant challenge, this was equaled by his endeavor on the slopes of Mt. Etna, which involved the renaissance of reclaimed formerly abandoned terraces of vines upon the volcano.

Both sites are extraordinary, complex, and poles apart in terms of terroir. From both its Tuscan and Sicilian estates, Franchetti has produced a portfolio of wines that is rich and diversified. Each wine expresses the characteristics of the vintage, the terroir and the potential of the different grape varieties.

Wine pairing notes

The Passorosso 2017 by Vini Franchetti winery is a particularly good partner for the chicken wings by Chef Jackie Fong. Indeed, these chicken wings are flavourful and complex, with a beautiful contrast between the crispy skin and the smooth texture of the meat. Passorosso is a wine characterized by toasted and sweet spices aromas, so it easily enhances the sweet flavour of the chicken wings and of the fried rice, creating a pleasant aftertaste. On the other side, the acidity and tannins of the wine contrast and contain such a sweetness, balancing each morsel and making the mouth ready for another bite.
