Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Graci is one of Etna's most respected producers, farming high-altitude old vines on the volcano's north slope, and their Rosso entry-level wine reflects the appellation's signature character well. Built on Nerello Mascalese, this is a lean, red-fruited wine with pronounced acidity, a stony mineral thread, and fine-grained tannins that feel closer in spirit to a Burgundy or Barolo than a typical southern Italian red. It's elegant rather than powerful, with a savory, herb-tinged finish that makes it particularly food-friendly.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
