The Graci estate is located on the Northern slope of Mount Etna at Passopisciaro, an area where viticulture goes back several thousand years. The vineyards are at an elevation between 1800 and 3000 feet above sea level Planting density ranges between 6,000 and 10,000 vines per hectare.This Etna Rosso is crafted from very low-yielding Nerello Mascalese vines from the prized Arcuria single vineyard. The variety is Etna’s most famous black grape variety and is renowned for producing incredibly refined reds with plenty of freshness and ripe red fruit character. The grapes are grown organically and harvested by hand. Once they reach the winery they are vinified in traditional oak barrels using wild yeasts. The young wine is then matured in large oak casks for 24 months before bottling and release.
