Graci Etna Rosso Sicily

| Description: | What Angelo Gaja is to Piedmont, what Antinori is to Tuscany, Alberto Graci is to Sicily—specifically, the revered black volcanic soils of Mount Etna. \nThe "Graci name is tightly linked to Etna excellence," wrote Wine Advocate, while Decanter called him "one of the best producers on Etna." That's where, at an elevation of 1,000 feet, he farms some of the highest Nerello Mascalese vines on the volcano. From that celebrated terroir, he coaxes one of the most stirring and unique red wines you'll ever taste. \nGrown on own-rooted, century-old vines, the 2021 Graci Etna Rosso is plummy and perfumed, medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, like a cross between Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo. Our Master Somm Sur Lucero says it "has all the energy and persistence that lovers of this producer and volcano have come to love," while Vinous said it's "punching well above the category." \nGraci wines are regulars on Michelin-starred wine lists like Eleven Madison Park and The Village Pub, and they've got a fervent fan base that will perk up at the mere mention of the name. For those who don't know the category, there's no better place to discover Mt. Etna than this world-expanding red from a benchmark producer—and we've got it for 36% off. |
