Tasting Notes: The Graci Etna Bianco has the mineral tension, citrus palate, and elegant finish of a world class Etna Bianco. Hints of under-ripe passion fruit and lime zest, white pepper and a full mouthfeel roll into a length, palate-wetting finish.
"At Graci, young Alberto Aiello Graci remains steadfast in his respect
for local traditions as well as the distinct nature of each vintage and
only cultivates traditional varieties indigenous to Mount Etna: the
red grapes Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, and white
grapes Carricante and Catarratto. Intervention of any kind is ex-
tremely limited, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. They do not
use herbicides in order to preserve the unique balance and vital
energy of the soil. They do not use barriques, but only the big, upright, wooden casks known as tini
and large, well-used wood barrels. Their sole objective is to reflect the personalities of their
vineyards and the sublime differences between each and every harvest."
