Tasting Notes

Aroma

Intense minerality and purity on the nose and palate, with hints of pink grapefruit.

Appearance

Bright pale straw.

Palate

Complex, long and with great acid balance. Delicious and fine

Vinification

The only treatments/additions include copper spray in the vineyard and sulphur additions at the winery. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks, following a gentle press (whole bunch). The wine remains on lees for 6 months prior to bottling.

Winemakers Comments

‘Etna is a special place,’ says Graci, who today runs the estate with his sister Elena. ‘We only cultivate traditional varieties indigenous to Mount Etna and aim to respect local traditions as well as the distinct characters of each vintage. The land decides, not us. We believe that only by listening carefully and responding to the expressions of Nature in our territory can great wines be born. Great because they are true.’

Region Notes

The fruit is sourced from a 2.5Ha vineyard in the Contrada of Acuria, a sub-zone of Passopisciaro in the Comune of Castiglione di Sicilia. The vines are bushed trained on the northern face of Mt Etna at 600 m.a.s.l. at a density of 6,300 vines per Ha.
