Graci Etna Rosso

Etna’s highly complex soils, a mixture of lava flows and ash, allow indigenous grapes like Nerello Mascalese to deliver what Graci calls “a balance between elegance and rusticity” that is hard to find anywhere else. In Sicily’s outstanding 2021 vintage, he produced a complex, elegant and silky Rosso that bristles with freshly crushed rose petals and red cherries, orange peels, and red plums. It’s round and satisfyingly sappy, with the tannin and acid structure to make for fine drinking over the next decade.
