The wine is matured for 24 months in cement tanks, during which time the malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. The wine rests in bottle for two months prior to release.Now under DIAM cork. 14% alc.
On the nose some violets and balsamic notes.The palate is all about intensely black forest fruits perfectly ripe, crunchy, minerallyand spicy. The tannins are fine and chalky with good acidity and length. Delicious.. dont miss this Viva lItalia !

Pretty strawberries, rose petals, fruit tea, redcurrants and hibiscus. Subtly tannic with finely tuned acidity and bright fruit throughout, this is a very endearing style of Etna red that will please if drunk now.

The Graci 2017 Etna Rosso shows those distinctive volcanic notes that you always find in the best wines from the Sicilian volcano. That volcanic signature permeates this wine and appears beside wildflower, forest berry, grilled herb and dried cranberry. The wine shows a clean, mid-weight style and impeccable balance that would make it a pleasure to drink with Sicilian swordfish involtini.
