This remarkably pure, elegant, and highly focused volcanic red wine opens with a beautiful, high-toned bouquet of wild strawberries, sour red cherries, and pomegranate seeds, elegantly layered with sophisticated notes of dried rose petals, Mediterranean herbs, and a distinct, smoky undertone of crushed flint and volcanic ash. On the medium-bodied palate, it strikes a seamless balance between a crystalline core of savory red fruits and a razor-sharp regional acidity. Fine-grained, chalky tannins provide excellent architectural tension, leading into a remarkably long, clean, and mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing: A phenomenal partner for gastronomy; pairs exquisitely with roasted duck breast, truffle-infused mushroom risotto, seared tuna steaks, or slow-cooked veal shank.
James Suckling
Very refined texture and character with sliced berries, cherries, watermelon and oranges on a medium-bodied palate with integrated tannins. The fresh, crunchy finish shows hints of pumice and ash.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Graci 2023 Etna Rosso shows a delicate succession of small berry fruits and blue flower. You also get a hint of black tea and dried mountain herb from a warm vintage. There is firmness and tension in this wine; however, the simplicity and approachability of this easy-drinking Etna red (from a difficult vintage) is what stands out most.
